Point Motor Controller with 4

SWD recommend the Peco PL10WE (Green
coils) with this product. |
Worldwide, the
SwitchPilot is the first multi protocol switch-, and turnout decoder
for activating up to 4 twin coil magnetic articles ( e.g. turnouts )
or 8 loads, like remote uncoupling tracks, or lamps ( e.g.
turnout,-street,-or building illumination ). Due to its intelligent
software (typically ESU ! ) it can be utilized with DCC or
Motorola®. The SwitchPilot comes in a robust housing at an
attractive price.
Modes of
operation
SwitchPilot can be used with DCC or Motorola®. It is compatible with
the DCC- Norm and reacts to switch commands. In Motorola® mode,
addresses 01 – 127 are possible. Recognition of control mode is
fully automatic.
Functions
The
SwitchPilot is being powered either directly by the digital central
station itself, or separately by a DC-or AC source (transformer). Up
to 4 twin coil actuators of all known manufacturers can be connected
to its 8 transistorized outputs, each delivering 1 Amp steady
current. In order to avoid coil burn out of actuators without
built-in protection, the switch- pulse length at each outlet can be
chosen freely between 0.1 and 1 second. In this mode the SwitchPilot
performs k83-compatible.
Alternatively, each output can deliver continuous power for setting
up routes, or illumination of streets and buildings. Special
effects, such as cross fading or Mars Lights help to realize
prototypical lighting situations, e.g. warning at crossings etc.
Here the SwitchPilot assumes the more important features of the well
known k-84 decoder.
Servo Control
The
SwitchPilot can do even more: Apart from the transistorized outlets,
two conventional RC-Servos can be controlled directly through the
SwitchPilot. For each Servo, not only lever speed can be adjusted
individually, but also its end positions. Thus it’s possible to
operate especially prototypically slow and powerful turnout motors,
independent of track- gauge and system. You could also employ the
servo actuator for driving signal arms and „high balls", or crossing
gates, and so on: The aficionado model railroader can surely think
of plenty more uses…
Feedback
However, SwitchPilot wouldn’t be a typical ESU-product, if it
couldn’t do even more: In combination with an ECoS-central station
as an ideal „partner" SwitchPilot can detect and show the actual
position of the switch points, if you rig the turnout mechanically.
At last you can be sure the turnout is really thrown correctly!
Programming
The
SwitchPilot can be programmed especially comfortably: For one thing
it supports all DCC-modes of programming, including POM (Programming
on the main). (Assuming a central station with an outlet for a
programming track, all adjustments can be controlled and modified).
On
the other hand, you can allocate addresses via the programming key
directly from the SwitchPilot: Push a button – a command is
triggered at the centre – finished!
The
programming of parameters is especially comfortable for owners of
our ECoS-central station: On a large display all parameters are
shown in plain language, and can be changed real easy – even during
operation!
Protection
As
was the case already with our Mobile (loco) Decoders, in the design
phase greatest emphasis has been placed upon near indestructibility
of the SwitchPilot: All transistorized outputs are protected against
overload and short circuits. That means ESU-quality is also built
into our Stationary (Turnout) Decoders – now and in the future. You
can rely on it!

SwitchPilot Extension.
Modes of
operation
The
SwitchPilot Extension Modul only works in
conjunction with a SwitchPilot. Plugged in
at the side, it gets its electrical power
directly from the SwitchPilot. It contains a
total of 4 Twin-Relays (2 x DPDT), of which
each is dedicated to a pair of
transistorised SwitchPilot outputs.
The
respective relay’s switch position is
directly dependent upon the state of this
pair of outputs. With the relay’s help,
loads can be switched, galvanically
separated from the rest of the track.
With the
relay’s 1.5 Amp continuous rating, either
frogs can be polarised-, or blocks powered
signal dependent, or motorized devices, such
as (water) pumps may be switched. Especially
intricate is the option to control motorized
turnouts: Of course the SwitchPilot
Extension Module easily handles the
necessary motor polarization as well.

SwitchPilot Servo with 4
Outputs.
The
SwitchPilot Servo is a masterpiece among
accessory decoders: it was specifically
developed for controlling up to four
remote-controlled servo motors. The
SwitchPilot Servo activates these actuators
very precisely and thus is able to control
not only switches, but also other slow
motion sequences. The Switch Pilot Servo can
be used with DCC or Motorola® protocols and
due to its three built-in buttons can be
programmed very easily. Set your layout in
motion!
Modes of
operation
The
SwitchPilot Servo can be used with DCC or
Motorola® protocols. It is compatible with
the DCC norm and reacts to switch commands.
It is possible to operate turnouts from 01
to 508 under Motorola® use. Recognition of
control mode is fully automatic.
Functions
The
SwitchPilot Servo is being powered either
directly by the digital central station
itself or separately by a DC- or AC source
(transformer). RC servos or ESU servo motors
can be directly connected to its four servo
outputs. The 5V voltage needed as well as
the special control impulse is generated by
the SwitchPilot Servo itself. For each
servo, not only lever speed can be adjusted
individually but also its end positions.
Thus it is possible to operate especially
prototypically slow and powerful turnout
motors, independent of track- and gauge
systems. You could also employ the
SwitchPilot Servo for driving signal arms or
railway crossings. Also the automatic
opening of engine shed doors does not need
to remain a dream.
Programming
The
SwitchPilot Servo can be programmed
especially comfortably: For one it supports
all DCC modes of programming including POM
(programming in the main). Assuming a
command station with an outlet for a
programming track, all adjustments can be
controlled and modified. As RailCom® is
integrated, it is also possible to read out
and control recent settings, even during
operation. Alternatively you can use the
comfortable three-button input: You are able
to control addresses, the end positions of
all four servos and the corresponding motion
speed directly, during operation and without
any complicated programming- at all command
stations!
Analogue
operation
The Switch
Pilot Servo would not be a typical ESU
product, if it had not even more to offer:
You can operate the decoder without the use
of a command station! Conventional switches
can be controlled with the help of eight
switch inputs. Therefore fans of “classic”
analogue model railway can benefit from the
advantages of the servo motor. In other
words: the SwitchPilot Servo does not need a
command station to switch and set servo
paths as well as speed.
SwitchPilot Extension
Do you need
some relay outputs in addition to the servo
outputs, since you intend to polarize the
frog, for instance, or switch off the track
voltage within the signal line section? Then
you should extend your SwitchPilot Servo
with the SwitchPilot Extension relay module:
one of its four twin-relay contacts switches
simultaneously to the servo and can be used
for potential-free load swichting – ideal
for tricky circuitry!
Protection
As it has
been the case with our loco decoders, in the
design phase´s greatest emphasis has been
placed upon near indestructibility of the
SwitchPilot Servo decoders. That means ESU
quality is also built into our stationary
decoders, now and in the future! You can
rely on it!
