ECoSControl Radio - The new freedom
Today we are proud to present the ideal expansion for your ESU
ECoS command station or your Central Station „Reloaded“
with the ESU Update V3.0.0 to you: The ECoSControl Radio
gives you the opportunity to control locos, stationary decoders
and routes via state of the art radio communication.
Freedom through wireless radio communication
The ECoSControl Radio remote control unit is equipped with
ultra-modern radio technology that enables it to communicate
with a radio receiver. The radio receiver is plugged into the
ECoSlot terminal of your ECoS command station or your Central
Station „Reloaded“ and the regarding command station
powers it.
This modern, fast and duplex communicating radio technology
achieves a range that allows a reliable operation of your layout
under normal circumstances at any time. Due to its radio technology
you do not necessarily need intervisibility between the
remote control unit and the radio receiver; radio waves even
pervade walls and there is no interference by sun or neon light,
whether outside or in the basement.
Ergonomics and function combined
Once you hold the ECoSControl Radio in your hands you will
immediately find that its shape was influenced by ESU´s long
lasting experience about the design of throttles: Due to its ergonomically
engineering you can reach all function keys very
easily, the arrangement and marking of the buttons is plausible.
A large display informs you about your locos and turnouts. The
remote control unit is to handle as easy as your mobile phone.
One unique feature is the thumb joystick. The more it is pushed
up, the more acceleration the loco gets. This kind of innovative
operation, developed by ESU, can even be controlled blindly:
You can concentrate your attention to your layout and locos.
Interaction
Fantastic possibilities become apparent when you use the
ECoSControl Radio remote control unit in combination with
your ECoS command station: Since both devices synchronize
their data you have to put in the name and symbol of the loco
only once and it remains up to date with all units.
The ECoSControl Radio is also able to switch magnetic-electric
accessories and routes, whose names, addresses and symbols
are indicated correctly on the display. This does also apply to
your locomotives, all basic properties such as the name of the
loco, its symbol and function key assignment is indicated on
the display.
How to operate a loco
The ECoSControl Radio is capable of controlling up to 100 locomotives.
It naturally recognises 14, 28 or 128 speed steps
and takes over all settings of the corresponding loco. Each loco
controlled by the ECoS command station can also be controlled
by the ECoSControl Radio remote control unit, independent of
its protocol.
For each of the function keys assigned to a loco you can decide
whether it will be latching or non-latching.
