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 decoders
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:
„Locomotive 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 16.
Assuming you have a suitable DCC system you can read CV values
on the programming track. You can also reprogram the locomotive
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. Please bear this in
mind when you program one of our decoders with another digi-
tal system.

The owners of an ESU ECoS can comfortably program LokPilot
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 LokPilot family,
only an update will add the required decoder profile.
With ECoS you can program LokPilot M4 decoders only to a
limited degree. For technical reasons, there is no decoder profile
for a LokPilot M4 decoder. You can only access the CVs as listed
in chapter 20.2. You can access them with the Motorola®
programming mode as described in chapter 16.2. in the ECoS
manual.

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
adjustable. Since the display of the 6020 /6021 is limited to
two-digit numbers, values must be split and entered in two se-
