LokPilot decoders support all NMRA programming modes as there
are the programming track modes (Direct Mode, Register Mode,
Paged Mode) and the mode for the main („POM“, „Programming
on the Main“).
Programming on the Main enables you to program your decod-
ers comfortably without having to remove the locomotive form
the layout. In this case, the command station talks directly to the
decoder by using its locomotive address, for instance: „Locomo-
tive number 50, write the value 7 into CV 3!“. Thus knowing the
locomotive address is a precondition. Unfortunately, you cannot
read CV values.
However, with RailCom® you can read CV values on the main.
More on this topic in chapter 15.
Assuming you have a suitable DCC system you can read CV values
on the programming track. You can also reprogram the locomo-
tive address without knowing the old address since the command
station simply transmits the command „Write value 7 in CV 3!“.
Each decoder receiving this command will execute it.
ESU counts the bits from 0 to 7 as laid out in the standards while
others (e.g.: Lenz®) count the bits from 1 to 8.

Owners of an ESU ECoS can comfortably program LokPilot de-
coders. ECoS has a library of „Decoder Profiles“ that help you to
program decoders with the graphic display. All CVs are stored in
the decoder profile thus enabling the ECoS to read them and to
display them on the screen. Chapter 16.5. of the ECoS manual
provides more information on this topic.
Please make sure that you always use the latest ECoS firmware
version. Whenever we expand the range of the LokPilot family,
only an update will add the required decoder profile.
8.2.3. Programming with Märklin® 6021

The Märklin® central unit 6021 works differently: Since it does not
comply with the NMRA DCC standards, LokPilot decoders start a
special, obligatory programming procedure. Reading of values is
not permitted.
There are two modes:
In the short mode, parameters with a number below 80 can be set
provided the desired value is also lower than 80.
In the long mode, all parameters with values from 0 to 255 are ad-
justable. Since the display of the 6020 /6021 is limited to two-digit
numbers, values must be split and entered in two separate steps.
