4. RailCom Plus
®
The PIKO SmartControl
wlan
is RailCom Plus
®
compatible,which lets RailComPlus decoder-equipped
rolling stock to automatically register with the system when they are rst placed on the track (Pro-
gramming track or Main track). Their names, function symbols, and images load automatically into the
system without the need of programming. Depending on the model and decoder type, an original PIKO
image, a RailCom
®
-generated image, or the RailCom
®
question mark will be displayed on screen. Any
image from the PIKO image database can be entered later in the editing mode.
If the decoder’s address already exists in the system, a message will appear on the display saying
"Locomotive address already assigned. New address". The PIKO SmartControl
wlan
will automatically
assign a new decoder address, which is then programmed directly into the decoder. The number from
which these new addresses will be assigned (address o󰀨set) can be set in the Settings menu (see
Chapter 3.8.8 "Settings menu of the SmartBox (command station") - the track settings).
The factory-set address o󰀨set number is 1000.
"RailCom" and "RailCom Plus" can be activated or deactivated in this menu.
If a RailCom Plus
®
- equipped piece of rolling stock does not registered automatically, then see the “tip”
in chapter 3.8.8.
NOTE: If a PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 (rmware version, with CV7 set between 28 and 35) was entered
into this command station and was deleted again, you will need to reset the decoder by programming
CV8 to a value of 1.
This allows the decoder to register via RailCom Plus
®.
Then program CV96 to a value of 1 to reactivate extended function mapping.
