Product Description
With the CabControl we combine the ease of use of our popular MobileControl II handheld controller with the base station Integrated Control Unit (ICU), which, in addition to a powerful booster, includes a high-quality DCC 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 railway enthusiasts 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 convenient 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. Of course, individual function key symbols as well as the locomotive name are managed for each locomotive. A locomotive symbol can be selected directly on the hand 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 properties will be adopted. You no longer need to change anything in the configuration. If necessary, the locomotive address is reprogrammed fully automatically.
The Mobile Control II hand controller, specially developed for controlling model railways, offers a sensitively reacting rotary controller and four haptic function buttons on the sides, which ensure confusion-free operation without eye contact. The display with 480x800 pixel resolution shows all information in plain text at all times. Up to 32 wireless hand controllers can be managed.
Switch 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 both program locomotives on the main track directly using POM and 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 powerful enough to supply power to track 1 or G-track systems. The track voltage can be adjusted directly to the track width using the included power supply unit. Cab Control fits all track widths.
Connectivity
In addition to a fully-fledged WLAN access point, a LAN and USB socket are also integrated into the Integrated Control Unit (ICU). If desired, the system can be integrated directly into your home network and supplemented with an optional computer control. All known software products are supported by the ICU because 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. Using the USB socket, the Mobile Control can be charged directly or a USB stick can be connected for data backup or software updates for the ICU.
