Digital Decoder Broadcast Stop Packets For All DecodersA three byte packet, whose first byte contains eight "0"s, whose second byte contains a specific stop command andwhose third and final byte contains an error byte that is identical to the second byte of the packet, is defined as aDigital Decoder Broadcast Stop Packet. Upon receiving this packet where bit zero of byte two (S) contains a valueof "0", digital decoders intended to control a locomotive's motor shall bring the locomotive to a stop.Upon receiving this packet where bit zero of byte two (S) contains a value of "1", digital decoders intended tocontrol a locomotive's motor shall stop delivering energy to the motor. If bit four of byte 2 (C) contains a value of"1", the direction bit contained in bit five of byte 2 (D) may optionally be ignored for all direction sensitivefunctions.
B: Broadcast Command For Multi Function Digital DecodersInstructions addressed to "broadcast address" 00000000 must be executed by all Multi Function Digital Decoders. The single instruction has the same definition as defined by the Multi Function Digital Decoder packet and can be one, two, or three bytes in length depending on the instruction. Digital Decoders should ignore any instruction they do not support. If a decoder supports Broadcast commands, the manufacturer must document which broadcast commands a decoder supports.
