3. Components for the digital system EasyControl
3.1. Central unit
As a central unit you can use either a RedBox or a MasterControl (with function "central unit").
The central units RedBox and Master Control
 send control instructions to every kind of decoder on your layout,
 check for components plugged into the EasyNet,
 poll for data and control instructions from components of the EasyControl,
 send data to components of the EasyControl,
 receive feedback data of s88 modules and transfer them to the PC,
 are the interfaces between computer(s) and model railroad layout.
Database for system parameters
RedBox and MasterControl have an integrated database to store all parameters relevent for the
digital system:
 booster configuration (short circuit polarity, short circuit sensitivity)
 output of commands for accessory decoders at the booster outputs
 standard data format for vehicle decoders
 switching times for solenoid decoders (minimum/maximum)
 RailCom support
 number of connected s88 modules
 length of signal pause for Motola vehicle decoders
Locomotive database
RedBox and MasterControl have an integrated database to store parameters you apply to a
locomotive’s address, which are:
 data format
 amount of speed levels
 (locomotive’s) name. Example: A locomotive of type BR 89 is assigned address "89" and the
name "EMMA". When applying names to locomotive addresses, you can find a locomotive by
looking for it´s name in the database.
Entering and modifying data
In order to display, enter and modify the system parameters or the data of vehicle decoders,
you need:
 MasterControl or
 LokControl, HandControl or HandControl 2 (software version 2.0 or higher) or
 PC with software CV-Navi or control software supporting EasyControl or
 Raspberry Pi (or wControl) and Android smartphone or tablet with app "EasyControl Android"
With the central unit RedBox you cannot display, enter or modify system parameters.
