8.2.2. Programming with the ESU ECoS
LokSound V4.0
LokSound micro V4.0
The owners of an ESU ECoS can comfortably program LokSound
decoders. 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 LokSound family,
only an update will add the required decoder profile.
8.2.3. Programming with Märklin® 6021
LokSound V4.0
LokSound micro V4.0
The Märklin® central unit 6021 works differently: Since it does
not comply with the NMRA DCC standards, LokSound 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.
8.2.3.1. Changing the Programming Mode
Enter the programming mode with the 6020/6021:
The throttle must be set to „0". No other locomotives may be on
on the layout. Watch out for flashing signals of the locomotive!
• Press the „Stop" and „Go" buttons of the 6021 simultaneously
until a reset has been triggered (alternately pull the mains plug of
the transformer). Press the „Stop" button in order to switch off
the track voltage. Enter the current decoder address. If you do not
know the current address, simply enter „80".
• Activate the change-of-direction button (turn the throttle knob to
the left beyond the arrestor until you hear a click sound), hold it in
this position and then press the „Go" button.
Please bear in mind that the 6020/6021 only permits you to enter
values from 1 to 80. The value 0 is missing. Always enter „80"
instead of „0".
8.2.3.2. Short Mode
The decoder is in the short mode (the headlights flash periodically
in brief intervals).
• Now enter the number of the CV that you want to adjust e.g.:
„01". Always enter this number with two digits.
• For confirmation activate the change-of-direction routine (now the
lights flash twice very quickly).
• Now enter the new value for the desired CV, e.g.: 15 (two digits).
• For confirmation activate the change-of-direction routine (now the
lights light up for about one second).
• Then you can enter other CVs as desired.
• Selecting „80" allows you to exit the programming mode.
Alternately you can switch off the track voltage and then on again
(press the „Stop" button on the 6021, then the „Go" button).
