History

This system was specially developed for use in North America and Australia.

  • North American and Australian locomotive icons (along with European Icons).
  • Easy Consisting for multiple unit lash-ups using drop down menus.
  • Wireless walk around system making it easy to follow your train on a large layout.

CabControl - Integrated Control Unit

ESU’s “North American” System, specifically developed for use in North America and Australia.

The high resolution display of the CabControl Throttle keeps you up to date on the most important operating parameters. Furthermore, you can see if another operator controls a certain locomotive or if an emergency stop has been triggered.

With the 50310 CabControl Integrated Control Unit, advanced model railroading is as simple as ever. With our new system, you have full control over your locomotives, switches and signals just at the tap of a finger. The unit communicates with our Mobile Control II Wireless Controller via wireless LAN. The CabControl’s integrated 7 Amp booster also allows it to power even larger layouts with ease. LokSound decoders equipped with RailComPlus® even register automatically with the system! Running trains has finally caught up with the technology of today!

Booster

The CabControl built-in booster has so much power that, in most cases, you don‘t need additional ones.

All Scales can be used with the CabControl system with the variable voltage 7 Amp Power Supply. The CabControl built-in booster has so much power that, in most cases, additional boosters are not needed.

Built-in WLAN Access Point

Creates a unique Wifi-Network for your Mobile Control II Wireless throttles

  1. Supports at least 32 Mobile Control II Wireless ControllersCompliant with all relevant IEEE WLAN standards. Suitable for use in North America and Europe.
  2. The CabControl features a LAN port to connect the box to your home network.
  3. Via the home network, the CabControl can be connected to Model RailRoad Control Software.

ECoSlink Port

For easy connection with ESU boosters, CabControl supports ECoSlink, a high speed, CAN based bus system.

On occasion new features will be added to the CabControl system. Gone are the days of sending your DCC command station back to the manufacturer for updates! When a new update becomes available it is as simple as loading this to a USB Data stick and plugging it in to the back of the system. (See video below).

As the CabControl System uses the ESU Mobile Control II Wireless Throttles, expansion is easy as these throttles are already available and connect automatically to the Integrated Control Unit. The system can also be used with the ECoSBoost Boosters using the ECoSlink Terminals when more power is needed for large layouts.
