PIKO SmartControlwlan the future of digital control!
OWNERS MANUAL System wlan Dear PIKO fans, We are pleased to present to you the all-new PIKO SmartControlwlan Digital Command Control system, an innovative, user-friendly, and above all sustainable DCC system develo-
ped completely in-house for the needs of the average DC model railroader. Running trains, throwing switches, controlling signals, creating routes, and programming CVs has never been so easy. The new PIKO SmartControlwlan is the perfect DCC system for beginners and seasoned model railroaders alike. And, thanks to the PIKO SmartCon-
trolwlan modular design, adding boosters is a snap for those wanting to expand the size of their layout. The Smart Controllers throttle features easy-to-understand symbols clearly arranged on the color display. This makes operating the SmartControlwlan simpler than tra-
ditional DCC systems which required the user to read lengthy manuals or attend a program-
ming course. What's more, the PIKO SmartControllerwlan is designed in such a way that it can be conveniently operated with one hand. The PIKO SmartControlwlan and PIKO SmartBoxwlan are connected to each other via a self-contained Wi-Fi network. This allows the operator freedom of movement around the layout. A special feature of the SmartControlwlan system is it allows up to four PIKO Smart-
Controllerwlan throttles to be paired with one PIKO SmartBoxwlan - for even more fun with family, friends or on a club layout!

It consists of the PIKO SmartControllerwlan hand held throttle and the PIKO SmartBoxwlan command center which are connected to each other via WiFi. The PIKO SmartControlwlan lets you control DCC-equipped locomotives and cars as well as accessories like turnouts and signals. It also allows the operator to program train routes so that turnouts and signals are automatically aligned for a particular train routing. The PIKO SmartBoxwlan serves as the heart of the PIKO SmartControlwlan system. Clearly labeled buttons and ports make for trouble-free operation while colored LEDs give you a quick overview of the system status. The PIKO SmartControllerwlan is a state-of-the-art wireless handheld throttle for the PIKO SmartControlwlan system. Up to four SmartControllers can be used simultaneously on a single PIKO SmartBoxwlan. The ergonomic shape of the PIKO SmartControllerwlan is designed to sit perfectly in the average hand. The buttons and keypad are arranged such that everything can be controlled with one hand; whether for right-handed or left-handed individuals. System attributes Up to 16 locomotives can be controlled individually or as part of a consist. An almost unlimited number of locomotives can be managed on the SD card*. The PIKO SmartControlwlan is RailCom Plus compatible, so all locomotives and rolling stock equipped with RailCom Plus decoders will automatically register with the system when placed on he track. The PIKO SmartBoxwlan supports the 14, 28 and 128 speed step format. The data format can be set individually for all locomotive addresses. Up to 69 functions can be activated for each locomotive address. The system allows up to 128* accessories with addresses ranging from 1 to 2048. The PIKO SmartControlwlan
Each route can have any accessory from address 1 2048 programmed into it along with pause times for accessories. The command station delivers a 2 A output to the main track and features short circuit and overload protection. This enables multi-train operation of up to 5 trains (depending on the gauge) without having to use additional boosters. The PIKO SmartBoxwlan has a separate programming track output. When programming on the
The PIKO SmartControlwlan supports both a programming track as well as Programming on the Main (POM and XPOM). PIKO SmartDecoders from version XP 5.1 and upwards can be updated with the SmartControl. All PIKO SmartControlwlan components can be updated. The PIKO SmartControlwlan can be operated via Wi-Fi in AccessPoint mode (the systems self contained Wi-Fi network), or by integrating the system into an existing home network in Station mode.
* Start Set versions of the PIKO SmartControlwlan allow a maximum of 16 locomotives, 54 accessories, and 3 train routes with 6 switching commands. Programming can only take place on the programming track. Start Set SmartControl systems can be upgraded to the full SmartControl system.. 5 System wlan System connections The PIKO SmartBoxwlan has ports for a main track, a programming track, a PIKO SmartBooster, the PIKO SmartTester, as well as USB-C port and a socket for the power cord.

In the locomotive menu, you can choose from all available locomotives which one you want to operate. Up to 16 locomotives can be run simultaneously. If a locomotive is selected and is currently running on the layout, you can still switch to another one. The previous locomotive will continue to run at the speed you left it at until you select it again and change its speed. The locomotive menu is factory set to locomotive address 3. To begin operating a locomotive with the PIKO SmartControllerwlan , you

"Yes", then the locomotive will be requested from another throttle that may be present. If the locomotive is not being operated from another throttle, it is taken over directly by your throttle. If the locomotive was last called up by the previous throttle, it will
11 System wlan After the desired locomotive has been called up, it can be run directly using the throttles dial. The dial will automatically turn to the speed the locomotive was traveling at when overtaken from the previous throttle. The display will now show the locomotive image stored in the locomotive editor, the current speed step, and the direction arrow including the speed bar underneath it on the lower left. If the direction arrow points right, this indicates the locomotive is moving forward. If the arrow points left, this indicates the locomotive is moving in reverse. If the dial is turned to the right, the locomotive will move at increasing speed in the indicated direction of travel . Pressing the dial reverses the direction of travel when the speed is set to zero. If the dial is pressed once while the locomotive is running, the locomotive will stop at its programmed deceleration rate. The direction of travel is only reversed by pressing the dial again (Like with AC throttles). If the dial is pressed twice quickly while a locomotive is running, the locomotive stops instantly without any braking delay. Whichever DCC speed step setting the locomotive is programmed for, 14, 28, or 128, will be displayed under the speed bar. Below the speed bar the locomotive address and name are displayed. The current status of all available locomotive functions is found in the right half of the display. If a function is switched on, the corresponding function icon displays a colored background (see F0 here). Locomotive functions are activated using the SmartControllers keypad. The light function (F0) is always activated using the "0" key. For all other

When the dial is turned back to the left, the speed of the locomotive is reduced until it stops. Another left turn will cause the locomotive to move in the opposite direction of travel. DC throttle mode is activated in the settings menu of the PIKO SmartControllerwlan (chap. 3.8.3). 3.4. The Accessory menu [
The SmartControl system will accommodate up to 128 DCC accessories with addresses between 1 - 2048 (up to 54 addresses in the StartSet version). Symbols (icons) are available for accessories such as street lamps up to four-aspect illuminated signals, which must be switched via three

The route menu is used to send a sequence of commands to digitial accessories like turnouts with the push of a button. It makes operating a complicated track plan much easier, where, for example, a train may need to leave a large station and three-way turnouts and multiple-aspect light signals need to be switched at the same time. In this situation, at least four switching commands would have to be sent at once. The route menu is accessed up by pressing number 3 in the main menu or
A maximum of 18 routes with 9 accessory commands each (3 to 6 with StartSet versions) can be stored in this menu. Routes consist of a sequence of accessory commands, pause commands, and/or calling up other routes (sub-routes). They can be provided with two-
line designations and thus there are hardly any limits to creativity for the routes to be created. No routes have been pre-programmed at the factory. They have to be
