Viessmann Three-Way Turnout Decoder 5235 For Märklin C - Track

[dconner]

  I cannot program my Viessmann Three-Way Turnout Decoder 5235 from my laptop using WD 2009.3b, version 11.3.162-32, which inturn is connected to a Märklin Central Station 2. Using the turnout test option in WD, all the turnouts respond except my Three-Way unit. The CS 2 Keyboard GUI turnouts all respond in turn to this test (including the Three-Way unit) as do the actual track turnouts, except the Viessmann Three-Way Decoder.
                              To make the problem a little more complicated, I can program this Three-Way Decoder from a Märklin Mobile Station, all functions are go as described in the Viessmann Manual, but it still will not function using the CS2 & my WD software.
                               Help would be greatly appreciated !!!

                               Best Regards Dave CONNER.

Hello Dave,

I'm not familiar with the 5235 Viessman decoder, but I read that the decoder requires two addresses in sequence.  To the right should be an odd number address and to the left an even number address.  Did you enter two addresses in the MA fields?  Just a thought.

 :)Dear Elliot,
Thank you for your help. I have just found the solution:-
Activate KEYBOARD in the CS2 menu,
Activate CONFIGURE KEYBOARD,
Activate the ICON Blue Arrow pointing south,
                     then activate the program button on the 5235 decoder,
                     lastly, activate the three-way decoder icon on the CS2 KEYBOARD display - bingo - it works.

                     Best Regards Dave CONNER.
