Turntable Control
13.5. Delete an accessory
An accessory can easily be deleted:
• Open the turnout control mode and press the configuration
symbol.
• Press this input field and all accessories will have a frame.
Figure 62
• Select the desired accessory and confirm your choice.
When an accessory is deleted it will be removed from all routes
and links in the turnout control panel. So please check
carefully if you really do not need this accessory any longer!
In some cases it may be necessary to display a list of all existing
accessories. Such a list is contained in the set-up menu. Please
refer to chapter 21.4.
14. Turntable control
The ECoS offers the possibility to control a turntable. Currently
the following decoders are supported: Märklin® turntable
7286 with its decoder 7686 resp. compatible decoders or
homemade devices with ESU LokPilot V3.0.
14.1. Connecting the turntable
No modifications are necessary on the turntable. Connect the
turntable decoder with the turntable as described in the user
manual.
Figure 63
For the track power supply of the turntable you may either use
the main track output of the ECoS (refer to Figure 63) or you
may use an external transformer (refer to Figure 64).
Figure 64
In case of using the track output of the ECoS the turntable will
at first not respond to any commands.
It is also possible that the position of the turntable may be
saved in the decoder erroneously if the command station is
switched to “Stop” (manually or due to a short circuit) during
operating the turntable. Therefore we strongly recommend
using an external transformer.
14.2. Generating a new turntable
A new turntable can be created like a new accessory once you
are in turnout control mode.
• Open the turnout control mode.
• Go to a completely empty panel (there may not be any links to
other accessories!)
• Open the configuration mode.
• Select this symbol in order to create a new turntable. A grey
frame will appear. Touch the panel at the location where the
turntable should be displayed. Then the configuration dialogue
for new turntables will open.

14.2.1. Type of turntable
Here you can select if the turntable will be operated with a
Märklin® turntable decoder 7686 or with a LokPilot decoder.

14.2.2. Name
For an unmistakable display of the turntable you may allocate
a name. There are 16 characters available.
14.2.3. Address
Here you enter the digital address of the decoder. In case of the
Märklin® turntable decoder 7686 the address 225 must be selected
which corresponds to the keyboard address 15. Should
your Märklin® turntable decoder be set to the keyboard 14,
then enter address 209.
If you use compatible, freely programmable turntable decoders
by others then you are not limited to only two addresses per
layout for the turntable.
