Locomotives operating in “Motorola®14“ and „Motorola®28“
mode offer up to 9 functions. The ECoS automatically assigns
functions 5 - 8 onto the second Motorola® address. This fea-
ture is offered by all LokSound decoders. In order to work it has
to be activated first. Refer to the decoder manual to find out
how to accomplish this.
11.1.3.8. Assigning functions with the ECoSControl Radio
You can assign a symbol for each locomotive which then will
be displayed on the ECoSControl Radio. Since the display of
the handheld controller can only handle a limited number of lo-
comotive symbols you may have to make some compromises.
• Select this symbol on the left in order to call up the menu for
assigning symbols on the handheld controller.
• Choose the desired symbol.
11.1.3.9. Speed steps / max speed display
Select this symbol in order to call up the settings of the speedo-
meter. There you can select if you want to display speed steps
or speed (in km/h) on the speedometer.
• In the „Speed Step“-mode ECoS shows the currently set speed
step. This is represented in the following ranges: 0 – 14, 0 – 27,
0 – 31 resp. 0 – 126. This is subject to the protocol used.
• In the „Speed”-mode ECoS calculates a speed in km/h that is
then displayed on the screen.
In order to be able to display the correct speed you have to en-
ter the desired maximum speed of the particular loco in km/h.
This should be the maximum speed of the prototype and not
of the model.
The value that you select with the slide controller will be dis-
played at the highest speed step. All values in between will be
interpolated accordingly.
The value entered here only serves for the display and has no
influence on the actual speed of the loco. No parameters of the
loco will be changed by this!
Setting the maximum speed has to be done via CVs in DCC
decoders; in Märklin® locos this generally has to be adjusted
within the loco.

11.1.3.10. Direct changing of address and speed step settings
Whenever you enter a new loco the data is only entered in
ECoS without any changes to the decoder in the loco.
Often it happens that the address of a loco is not known. If
so desired you can program the loco when entering into ECoS
provided it is a DCC loco:
• Place the loco on the programming track
• Select the option „Programming on programming track” (Fig.
44).
• Push the programming icon. ECoS will now program the fol-
lowing parameters:
• The address in CV1 resp. CV 17 / 18 provided a long address
has been selected.
• In CV29 the use of long or short addresses and the number of
speed steps is set (14 resp. 28 / 128 speed steps).
11.1.3.11. Extended decoder settings
The function of this tab is explained later in chapter 18 „Pro-
gramming Decoders”.
11.1.4. Indirect entry of a locomotive
Sometimes you may want to place a loco on the tracks and run
it without time-consuming data entry. Of course, this is also
possible with ECoS.
• Select the loco choice button of the throttle that you want to
use.

11.1.3.6. Favourite lists
In order to quickly find certain locomotives in a large number
of rolling stock there are 3 locomotive choice lists in which you
may store your locomotives.
In order to add a locomotive to one of these lists simply tick the
field for the desired list.
As an example the following classification of locomotives
would be useful:
Freight train locomotives
List 1
Passenger train locomotives List 2
MUs List 3
Later you can first select the appropriate locomotive list when
searching a particular locomotive.
11.1.3.7. Function mapping
The ECoS enables you to freely assign symbols to each function
button. Besides assigning a symbol you can also determine for
each function if it should operate as a momentary or a conti-
nuous output.
• Select „properties“ in the locomotive menue and choose the
symbol on the left in order to call up function mapping.
• Select the desired symbol for each function from the list.
• Set the function to momentary or a continuous output. Mo-
mentary functions remain on as long as you press the corres-
ponding function button. Continuous outputs remain on until
you touch the function button once more.
• If you do not want to use a certain function screen button sim-
ply remove the tick next to the field “Utilising this function”.
The ECoS does not check if a symbol matches the type of lo-
comotive. The pictogram only serves for easier identification
on the display.
In order to transmit changes to M4 locomotives they must be
connected to the ECoS during this process.
DCC locomotives can switch up to 20 functions; M4 decoders
up to 16 and Selectrix® decoders regrettably only two.
