Configuration with the programming tack
You can write all the CVs of the SwitchPilot 3 Plus decoder and
read them subject to the capabilities of the command station.
With the ECoS, this is done as follows:
• Go to the main programming menu of the ECoS.
• Select “POM”, “DCC” and “Accessory decoder”.
• Select the „POM address” of the SwitchPilot 3. Alternately the
corresponding turnout numbers are displayed as well.
• Select the CV you want to read or write.
• Press the „Read” or „Write” button.
With the aid of Z21 maintenance tool, the ROCO® Z21 can also
read or write the CV values of the SwitchPilot 3.
For this to work, RailCom® must be active on the SwitchPilot 3
Plus. Please also refer to chapter 11.
Unfortunately, many command stations do not support the POM
mode for accessory decoders, but only for mobile (locomotive)
decoders. In this case, configure the SwitchPilot directly using its
display.
9. Configuration with the programming track
In some cases, it may be desirable to change the properties of the
SwitchPilot via the programming track of the digital system. There,
the CVs can not only be written, but also read. This is conveniently
done before the final installation on the layout.
9.1. Connection to the digital system
Wire the SwitchPilot 3 Plus as described in chapter 5.2. Power
must be provided by the digital system.
9.2. Read & Write CVs
Reading should work with all DCC compliant command stations.
However, some command stations do not provide enough voltage
for the programming track or sometimes report an overcurrent. In
these cases, POM should be used, or - even better - configure the
SwitchPilot directly using its the display.
