Active loco: this loco is running
Loco is blocked: this loc is run from another throttle
You can now navigate the list either with the joystick or with
the stylus until you have found the desired loco. Alternately
you can type in the loco address. ECoS scrolls automatically to
the corresponding address within the list. After confirming the
loco it will be called up by a throttle.
11.2.1. Swapping the cabs
Touch this symbol for swapping the currently active locomo-
tives: the left locomotive will be handed over to the right cab
and vice versa.
11.2.2. Clearing a cab
Sometimes one does not want to have any locomotive assig-
ned to a cab. Of course this is also possible.
• Call up the locomotive menu of the cab which you want to
clear.
• Select “Clear cab”.
11.3. Speedometer display options
After selection the loco speed is displayed on the speedometer.
Besides the information mentioned in chapter 6.3 the speedo-
meter shows further important data.

b) Address of loco
c) Current speed step resp. speed of locomotive
Subject to the status of the loco the following symbols can be
displayed:

• Confirm your selection
If there is no other loco with the same address registered ECoS
will automatically enter the necessary data in the background
with the given address and the name „New>xxxx<” and by
setting the Motorola®28-protocol.
Which protocol ECoS should use whenever you enter a loco
directly can be pre-set in the menue. You find details in chapter
21.5.1.
