a)  List of all locomotives
b)  List of already allocated locomotives
c)  Add a locomotive to the mobile station
d)  Delete a locomotive from the mobile station
e)  Move  the  locomotive  marked  on  the  right  upwards  resp. 

downwards

f)  Extended settings
g)  Sorting and filter options for the left locomotive list

• Select the desired locomotive from the left locomotive list and 

add it by pressing the symbol c). 

• Select locomotive no longer required in the right hand list and 

press the symbol d).
You may allocate up to 10 locomotives. The mobile station can 

control locomotives with any data format since ultimately the  

data format is generated by the ECoS.

20.2.2. Extended settings

In order to differentiate between different mobile stations you 

can give each mobile station a name in the tab “Extensions“.

ECoSlink Bus

21. Configuration menue

Basic operational parameters are edited via the set-up menue.
After touching the pictogram for the set-up menue at the top 

of the monitor the set-up dialogue is opened. This is structured 

over several pages (windows).

21.1. General settings

21.1.1. Setting the language

Select  the  desired  language  from  the  choice  list.  Any  adjust-

ments will be accepted immediately.

21.1.2. LCD contrast and brightness

With the slide controllers for brightness and contrast you can 

adapt the screen to the surroundings and your personal pre-

ference.

21.1.3. Current threshold of the internal booster

In  the  choice  list  “Current  limit  of  the  internal  booster”  you 

can reduce the maximum current if so desired. Never set the 

current limit to a higher value as necessary in order to avoid 

damage or welded rails in case of a short circuit. 
The  current  threshold  of  other  boosters  connected  to  the 

ECoSBoost booster is set in the configuration menu “Devices 

in the system“. Please also refer to chapter 21.3.2.
If you place a tick behind the remark “Only switch off the affec-

ted booster circuit in case of a short circuit” then the internal 

booster  of  the  ECoS  will  not  be  turned  off  whenever  other 

boosters report a short circuit. Thus you can set the system so 

that  the  internal  booster  will  only  be  switched  off  if  a  short 

circuit occurs in its own district. 
The “Go” button blinks green if at least one booster district is 

switched off due to a short circuit.

21.1.4. Reset

Pressing the screen button “Factory default values” triggers a 

factory reset. All data in the command station will be deleted 

including  all  data  related  to  locomotives,  accessories,  routes 

and track diagrams.
This reset is carried out immediately.

20.2. Märklin® Mobile Station

You can connect up to three Märklin® mobile stations 60651 

and 60652 as additional cabs directly to the ECoS. More mobi-

le stations can be wired via an ECoSlink terminal.
The dedicated adapter cable (from 10-pole to 7-pole) must be 

used in all circumstances. This adapter cable is supplied with 

the  Märklin®mobile  station  60652  or  is  available  as  a  spare 

part under the Märklin® part number 610 479 at your local 

hobby shop.

If  you  connect  a  mobile  station  to  the  command  station  for 

the first time then the internal software version of the mobile 

station  will  be  checked.  Should  the  mobile  station  still  work 

with an older software version than the command station then 

it will be automatically updated. 

The mobile station will not respond to any commands or dis-

play anything on the screen during this process. This is quite 

normal! On the screen of the command station a remark refer-

ring to this process will be displayed. 

After the software update a reset will take place and all locomoti-

ves stored in the data base of the mobile station will be deleted!

20.2.1. Allocating locomotives

One can allocate up to 10 locomotives from the data base of 

the command station to each connected mobile station . This 

process is conducted in the “Set-up” menu.

• Select the set-up symbol in the top menu bar and a menu dia-

logue window with some pictograms on the left will open. 

• Select  the  second  pictogram  from  the  top  and  the  dialogue 

window “Devices in the system“ will open.

• Select the desired mobile station and press the “Hand“ picto-

gram. The configuration dialogue will open in which you can 

allocate locomotives to the mobile station.
