SignalPilot is a multi-protocol accessory decoder designed for signal switching. Thanks to its intelligent software, it can be used with DCC or Motorola®. The flexible programming makes this decoder an all-rounder among our accessory encoders. The SignalPilot has 16 outputs to which the individual micro-lamps or LEDs for light signals can be connected directly. Because the outputs are designed as push/pull output stages, both conventional light signals with a common anode and light signals or light strips with a common ground connection (common cathode), as can occur with Viessmann® signals, are suitable. But also motorized form signals and point machines can be operated directly with the SignalPilot.
Operating modes
The SignalPilot can be used under DCC with RailComPlus® and Motorola®. Any address or combination of addresses can be assigned to each output by the software.
Functionality
The SignalPilot can either be supplied directly from the digital center or separately from a DC or AC voltage transformer. You can connect the LEDs of two, three or four aspect light signals directly to the 16 outputs. You can operate each output individually as a continuous light, flashing light or pulsating light. The brightness or flashing frequency can be set as well as the fade-in and fade-out times. Various prototypical light effects such as soft dimming, neon tube effects, defective neon tubes, gas lantern simulation or flickering light ensure a realistic result. Random switching on or off or on and off delay can also be activated. A night service can switch the outputs together if necessary.
The outputs of the SignalPilot are combined into signal images during configuration. In principle, two, three, four or more aspects can be imagined here. Depending on the number of outputs involved, each signal is assigned one or more turnout numbers (turnout addresses), with the help of which you can later switch the individual signal aspects. Up to 16 turnout numbers are available for this.
The configuration of the signal aspects is carried out exclusively using the ESU LokProgrammer software. You select the desired signal aspects, then transfer them to the decoder and connect the signals as configured.
All signal images predefined in the LokProgrammer software can be changed individually. The description of the signal images themselves takes place using XML files, which are either regularly expanded by ESU, or you can create and expand them completely at your own discretion. In this way, "exotic" signals can also be supported. SignalPilot is multi-protocol compatible and can be used both with central units according to the Märklin® Motorola® system (e.g. 6021, Central Station® or Mobile Station®) as well as DCC-compatible central units. The configuration can take place both on the main track and on the programming track. Thanks to RailCom®, CVs can also be read out.
Optionally, a SwitchPilot Extension relay module can be docked to the SignalPilot. With its help, e.g. Brake sections are activated or frogs are polarized.
LokProgrammer
With the ESU LokProgrammer you can easily configure the SignalPilot directly on the screen: Simply select the desired signal type and view the connection directly on the screen.
