Switching accessories
13.1.6. Switching time
The switching time can be adjusted in five steps from 0.25 seconds
to 2.5 seconds in „Change Over” mode.
Should the default value of 250msec not be sufficient for reliable
switching increase the switching time step by step. Typical
value: 250ms.
Once you have set this parameter touch the corresponding
screen button and ECoS stores the setting and completes the
configuration dialogue.
Should the dialogue not close as desired and instead an exclamation
mark „!” appears just behind the three lines with
the name, then the text is too long. ECoS checks the length
of the text entry dynamically when it is saved. In that case
please shorten the name of the accessory. In order to be able
to switch the accessory you must exit the configuration mode
by touching this symbol.
13.2. Setting accessory parameters
You may reset the parameters of an accessory at any time:
• Select the turnout control mode and click onto the configuration
symbol
• Click onto this screen button and then select the desired accessory.
Figure 56
• All further steps are the same as described in chapter 13.1.
13.3. Creating a new link for an accessory (display on the
turnout control panel)
You may create several links even on different turnout control
panels. This is one of the main advantages of this concept. It
allows you to locate accessories several times and group them
in a logical manner.
The turnout control panel always displays the current status
of all accessories. For that purpose the command station saves
the status of each accessory. However, manual changes (by
hand) of the aspect cannot be detected by the command station.
Therefore you should assure that actual status and system
status correspond with each other.
• First open the turnout control mode by clicking onto this symbol
in the main menu line.

link”. All accessories will be marked with a frame.

• Select the accessory whose link you wish to delete. The link will
then disappear.
This deletes only the link but not the accessory.

In order to enhance clarity you can turn the symbols to suit
your needs. Select „Turn clockwise“ in the menu and click onto
the desired accessory which results in turning it clockwise by
90º.
