6.5. Locomotives with 21MTC Interface
Some LokPilot decoders are available with a variant of the 21MTC
interface as per Fig. 3. Installation in locomotives with this
interface is particularly easy since the plug-socket connector
facilitates the mechanical fixing as well.
•Remove the locomotive body. Please observe the instructions in
the manual of your locomotive!
•Remove the dummy plug from the socket and keep it in a suitable
place for later use
•Search for the missing pin in the plug on the circuit board of the
locomotive. The missing pin serves as the marker. Memorise its
location.
•You can insert the decoder in two ways: either the pins are put
through the decoder; the socket of the decoder remains visible
after installation (mounting on top) or the decoder is inserted in
such a way that the pins go straight into the socket. Once the
decoder sits in the socket, the socket is hidden from view. This
method is common for Brawa locomotives.
•Which of the two mounting positions is the correct one depends
solely on the locomotive. The position of the marker-pin is the
crucial indicator.
•Plug the decoder into the socket in such a way that the locomotive
interface corresponds with the decoder.
•Do not apply too much pressure when inserting the plug. The
decoder must go in without force.
•Check if the decoder sits correctly.
6.5.1. Connecting C-Sine motors („SoftDrive-Sinus“)
The LokPilot decoder cannot drive the newer Märklin®-models
with C-Sine motors (also called „SoftDrive-Sinus“) directly. To
facilitate this, a circuit board supplied with the locomotive is
required. Märklin uses the 21MTC interface installed on this
circuit board and thus utilises the normal motor commands form
the decoder for the exchange of information.
Both the LokPilot V3.0 and the LokPilot V3.0 M4 with the 21MTC
interface are suitable for controlling the C-Sine control electronics
provided some parameters are set accordingly. Chapter 11.5.
explains the necessary steps.
Some Trix® locomotives have the same C-Sine motor; however,
the control electronics in Trix® locomotives communicate in a
different manner with the decoder. Currently it is not possible to
run such locomotives with LokPilot decoders even though they
have the same (mechanically identical) interface.
6.6. Locomotives without Interface
All LokPilot decoders have the interface (plug). There is no „wires-
only“ version. Please remove the plug at the end of the harness
should this become necessary.
Please do not extend any wires at the decoder end. If necessary
use an extension harness (also refer to chapter 18).
