ESU Loksound 50311 Cab Control, DCC Digital System with Mobile Control, 7A, 15-21V Output

With the CabControl we combine the user-friendliness of our popular handheld controller MobileControl II with the base station Integrated Control Unit (ICU), which includes a powerful booster, a high-quality DCC control center with Railcom® and RailComPlus® as well as a complete WLAN access point.

With its 7A output power, the CabControl is an ideal control center for model railroaders of all gauges who are looking for simple manual operation via radio, but do not want to forego the convenience of automatic locomotive recognition and comfortable operation of the locomotives.

Control Locomotives

The Integrated Control Unit (ICU) is a fully-fledged DCC digital control center with RailCom® and RailComPlus® data format that can control up to 16,384 locomotives. Each locomotive can be assigned up to 31 functions. Individual function key symbols are of course managed for each locomotive, as is the locomotive name. A locomotive symbol can be selected directly on the handheld controller. If your locomotive is equipped with a RailComPlus® compatible decoder, the locomotive will be automatically recognized the first time it is put on the track and all its properties will be adopted. You do not need to change anything in the configuration. If necessary, the locomotive's address will be reprogrammed fully automatically.

The Mobile Control II handheld controller, specially developed for controlling model railways, offers a sensitive rotary control and four haptic function keys on the sides, which ensure that operation is easy and without eye contact. The display with 480x800 pixel resolution shows all information in plain text at all times. Up to 32 wireless handheld controllers can be managed.

Switching switches/magnetic items

With the help of the signal box, up to 1000 magnetic items (switches, signals) can be switched directly on the hand controller.

Programming Decoders

The CabControl system can program locomotives directly on the main track using POM and also read them directly using RailCom®. Of course, a programming track can also be connected to the ICU.

Booster

The integrated booster with 7A output power is strong enough to supply power to gauge 1 or G-gauge systems. The track voltage can be adjusted to the gauge directly using the power supply unit supplied. Cab Control is suitable for all gauges.

Connectivity

In addition to a full-fledged WLAN access point, a LAN and USB socket are also integrated into the Integrated Control Unit (ICU). This means that the system can be integrated directly into your home network and supplemented with an optional computer control system. All known software products are supported by the ICU, as the protocol is designed to be compatible with ECoS. If PC software is used, ECoSDetector feedback modules for track occupancy reporting can also be connected to the ECoSLink bus and evaluated directly in the software. The USB socket can be used to charge the Mobile Control directly, or a USB stick can be connected for data backup or software updates for the ICU.
