The LokPilot works with all Märklin® devices and compatible
systems that are in the market until now. The functions F1 to F4
can only be activated with the so-called „new Motorola® format.“
In order to activate this you must set the DIP-switch 2 on your
6021 to the upper position („On“).
LokPilot decoders support two special features in Motorola®
mode:
7.2.2.1. 28 Speed Steps
While the original Motorola® system used by the following central
units, namely Märklin® central unit 6021, Delta® and Mobile
Station®, only supports 14 speed steps, the LokPilot decoder
can also handle the 28-speed step mode. In conjunction with
suitable command stations (e.g.: ESU ECoS, in „Motorola® 28“
mode) this leads to smoother control of your locomotives. No
changes are required on the decoder.
7.2.2.2. Extended Motorola® Address Range
While the original Motorola® format only knows the addresses
from 01 to 80, the LokPilot offers the following range of
addresses:
LokPilot V3.0
01 - 255
LokPilot V3.0 M4
01 - 255
LokPilot XL V3.0
01 - 255
LokPilot micro V3.0
01 - 127
LokPilot Fx V3.0
01 - 127
LokPilot Fx micro V3.0
01 - 127
Chapter 9 explains how to set the address.
7.2.3. Selectrix® Mode
LokPilot V3.0
LokPilot micro V3.0
LokPilot XL V3.0
You may operate the LokPilot with any Selectrix® compatible
command station with access to the functions „lights“ and F1.
For programming any parameters, you must use the DCC
programming mode. It is not possible to program it with a „pure“
Selectrix® system. Any changes programmed in DCC are also
valid for operation with Selectrix® command stations.
As soon as a decoder receives commands in Motorola® or DCC
format (whenever it receives a signal packet with information
addressed to it), the Selectrix® receiver switches off automatically.
This allows trouble-free mixed operation with Selectrix® / DCC /
Motorola®. The Selectrix® receiver turns on again as soon as
the decoder detects a power interruption.
7.2.4. M4 Mode
LokPilot V3.0 M4
The LokPilot M4 is recognised and embedded into the system
automatically by the Märklin® systems devices Central Station®
and Mobile Station® immediately after placing the locomotive
onto the track. This process runs automatically and does not
require any specific decoder settings.
As soon as the decoder receives a valid M4 data packet (whenever
the decoder recognizes that it is run by an M4 capable central
unit) it will ignore Motorola® data packets. Only after interrupting
power to the decoder briefly or if it does not receive any M4 data
packets for about 4 seconds will it accept Motorola® data packets
again.
