Supported Tags
The Motor container supports the following tags. Each tag is show here with its default value.
motor { resistance 1.7 adhesion 5.0 maxvoltage 600.0 maxspeed 33.3 brakeratio 55000 max-accel 3500 max-decel 9000 throttle-notches 8 axle-count 6 surface-area 80.0 moving-friction-coefficient 0.03 air-drag-coefficient 0.00017 full-throttle-speed 33.0 driving-wheel-weight-ratio 1.0 }
resistance
- Type: Decimal
- Desc: Not used
adhesion
- Type: Decimal
- Desc: Not used
maxvoltage
- Type: Decimal
- Desc: Voltage to traction motors. This is used to scale the ammeter displayed in the cab. (Power is volts times amps - increasing the voltage means reducing the ammeter...)
maxspeed
- Type: Decimal
- Desc: Maximum speed in DCC mode.
brakeratio
- Type: Decimal
- Desc:
max-accel
- Type: Decimal
- Desc: Accelerative force available in DCC mode. Note - this is a force, not a rate of acceleration. The rate of acceleration will depend on the mass of the train as well.
max-decel
- Type: Decimal
- Desc: Decelerative force available in DCC mode. Note - this is a force, not a rate of deceleration. The rate of deceleration will depend on the mass of the train as well.
throttle-notches
- Type: Integer
- Desc: Number of throttle notches
axle-count
- Type: Integer
- Desc: Number of axles on this vehicle. Used in rolling resistance calculations.
surface-area
- Type: Decimal
- Desc: frontal surface area (sq ft) of vehicle. Used in air resistance calculations.
moving-friction-coefficient
- Type: Decimal
- Desc: Used in rolling resistance calculations.
air-drag-coefficient
- Type: Decimal
- Desc: Used in air resistance calculations.
full-throttle-speed
- Type: Decimal
- Desc:
driving-wheel-weight-ratio
- Type: Decimal
- Desc: Ratio (between 0.0 and 1.0) of the weight of this vehicle bearing down on driven wheels. Used by steam locos only.
