Function Mapping - Esu SwitchPilot 3 Instruction Manual

Function mapping

There are three options for adjustment:
"Imp On" determines when a servo pulse shall be generated.
Always Once the power supply for the SwitchPilot 3 Ser-
vo is turned on, the servo impulse is generated
immediately. Recommended for digital as well as
ESU servos.
On CMD A servo impulse is only generated once a swit-
ching command has been transmitted to the
servo. Recommended for analogue servos for
avoiding buzzing after having reached the end
position.
"Imp Off" determines the time after which the servo impulse will
be switched off again.
Never After activating the servo impulse, it will be con-
tinually transmitted. Recommended for digital as
well as ESU servos.
Timeout The servo impulse will be turned off about one
second after reaching the end position ("A" or
"B"). Recommended for analogue servos to avo-
id buzzing after reaching the end position.
"PWR" determines how the power supply for the servo is to be
set up.
Always The power supply is never switched off. Recom-
mended for analogue as well as ESU servos.
On Move The power supply is turned off once the servo
has reached its end position. Recommended for
digital servos for avoiding buzzing after reaching
the end position.
Subject to design, construction and configuration of the servo
other combinations of the above three options are feasible. If in
doubt, simply try it out for reliably avoiding buzzing or jerking.
ESU recommends using ESU servos 51804, 51805 or 51806, who-
se special firmware do not permit any jerking or buzzing.
6.6. Function Mapping
Normally servos are controlled individually; occasionally it may be
useful, to control two servos with one function button (e.g.: for
level crossings). The SwitchPilot 3 Servo supports this functionality.
One can assign the desired servo outputs that should be activated
to any turnout number (1 – 8). There is a table listing every turnout
number, consecutively numbered from F1 to F8.
FUNCTION MAPPING F1
Servo : »... ....
1234 5678
The table for turnout 1 (F1) shows which servo should be activa-
ted. Normally this would be servo 1. Let´s assume you also want to
activate servo 3, then proceed as follows:
• Press PROG/OK three times consecutively. With each press of the
button the cursor moves one position to the right. Now the cursor
should blink above number "3".

• Press button (+) for activating servo 3.
• Then press the PROG/OK button once more to confirm the entry.
The cursor will then move on to servo 4.
• Press the PROG/OK button until the cursor disappears and
nothing else is blinking.
