STOP OVER TO THE ECOS SHUTTLE 

Hi Dave..glad the vids are of some use , when I started the Esu vids in English there were virtually no videos on RU-vid.

What your saying is, the ECOSYSTEM system can be programmed to operate trains and points to work automatically??? That's class🚂🚂

Oliver Rooney hi..yes but very basic automation. .

Many Thanks john you are a gent.......

thanks Kevin ...setting it up was very tricky at first but now i know how it works its easy to do..

thanks...its a bit tricky setting up as there are no instructions on the stop over add on update for the ecos on the website or on the esu forums ...but it works very well

Thanks..its a great command station but it has many menus and sub menus and it took me some time to discover its features...

hovermotion - I can imagine, Jim!! I would get migraines! :O

Thanks.........jm

Allan Alexander Hi Allan...The ecos can handel the routes once programed and multi shuttles with stop over stations...but only simple end to end shuttle routes. I have tried every thing the ecos can do ..e.g triggering routes and had two shuttes going etc on my inner main line station to the big station etc...it works great but its simple automation ,not many people unlock the full use of the ecos as its a bit tricky to get going with few videos showing how to do this. I now use tt gold as its very powerfull automation which makes adjustments of trains on the go if required so its impossible for trains to crash unless a point motor fails. I still like to use the ecos without firing up the p.c for my dmu. jim

no worries ...any problems just ask...jim..

hi Scott, it's great when it works in the end but trying to set it up with no instructions for the stop over add on {update} that esu did was tricky..

Hi Robert..lol..maybe ? i will check out your 14...I have no clue what to do next on the i-train program..maybe add the three feedbacks on the track plan blocks etc. at least I can use this simple automation on the ecos for now its great watching it work as you can just sit back and watch..I need to add all 16 feedbacks and maybe more as you say two per big platform for long tgv trains etc. , I can plug another feedback unit onto the one i have to make 32 feedbacks which i think i will need.,,,,.. Jim...

It was actually vlog 18. Testing the central control.

hovermotion Re further. Start by dividing your track into blocks. Blocks are detectable pieces of track without points. Then create feedbacks to detect trains in a block. Then create routes or links between blocks with the necessary points and the required position to get from block a to b efc. At this point your PC sw should be able to run trains randomly, they usually have this. You can creat fixed routes by linking blocks together. Finally (fast) clock times can trigger block departures. Forget the ecos, except for manual control. Hope this helps. Robert

Many thanks Robert...that info heads me off in the right direction. ..I think all this automation is a hobby on its own......jim

Thanks Dave...it was a pain to add a third station as i was using a complex route at first, it worked when i sent the train through the small stop over station once only...

Be nice if you would explain all the preliminairy setup. Questions like do you need to make a railplan or can you do without? How do you make contacts to rail. I use gauge one, two rail. Is it important on which rail you connect? How many brown (mass) do you need to add. Do you need to isolate track where you stop and start? So many questions that NOBODY, including ESU, addresses. I just want to see how it works from de left side of track to the right side, so about three meters.
