Address Settings

9. Address Settings
Each LokPilot decoder requires a definite address to be address-
able for the central unit. Depending on the type of decoder and
the digital system, there are several possibilities how to allocate
addresses.

9.1. Short Addresses in DCC mode

LokPilot micro V4.0 LokPilot micro V4.0 DCC
LokPilot XL V4.0
Normally you would control LokPilot decoders with the short ad-
dress that is stored in CV 1. In DCC mode, the permitted values
range from 1 to 127. In order to enable the decoder to „listen" to
the short address you must delete bit 5 in CV 29.
Some digital systems (e.g. ROCO® Lokmaus II, Lenz® digital plus,
Lenz® compact) only support the values 1 – 99 as short address.

9.2. Long Addresses in DCC mode

LokPilot XL V4.0
You can operate LokPilot decoders also with long addresses (4-dig-
it addresses). The supported values range from 128 – 10239. The
long address is stored in the CVs 17 and 18. You must activate the
long address by setting bit 5 in CV 29.
Bit 5 in CV 29 switches between short and long address. The de-
coder can only respond to one address at a time.
If you want to use your LokPilot with the long address it is practi-
cal to program this address directly with your digital system: most
modern digital systems (e.g. ESU ECoS, Bachmann E-Z Com-
mand® Dynamis®) have a menu for programming long address-
36
es. The command station not only programs CV 29 correctly but
also assures the correct storage of the values for the long address
in CV 17 and 18.
If you want to enter the long address manually in CV 17 and 18
please refer to chapter 22.1.

9.3. Motorola® address
You can also operate many LokPilot decoders with the Motorola®
format. The address for this operating mode is stored in CV 1.
LokPilot V4.0
LokPilot micro V4.0
LokPilot XL V4.0
LokPilot Fx V4.0
This address is identical to the short address in DCC mode as
described in chapter 9.1. The LokPilot decoder responds both to
commands in DCC and in Motorola® mode at the same time. The
permitted values are listed in chapter 7.2.2.2.

Märklin® digital devices (6020, 6021, Delta®) can only work with
addresses from 1 to 80. Should you have entered a higher value
in CV 1 you will not be able to drive this locomotive with these
central units.

9.3.1. Consecutive addresses for more functions

The extended Motorola®-Format covered only the lighting func-
tion (F0) and the auxiliary function F1 to F4. Of course, this is far
too few for the many functions of the LokPilot V4.0.
Therefore one can assign up to three additional addresses (4 ad-
dresses in total). The so called consecutive addresses follow im-
mediately after the actual address stored in CV 1 and serve to
trigger functions. Motor control is solely accomplished via the base
address in CV 1.
