RailKernel for ESU ECoS

Use the ECoS as part of a complete railway model

RailKernel connects directly to the ECoS protocol and combines the central station with a graphical layout, operational blocks, routes and trains.

Import ECoS objects

Bring locomotives and supported accessories into RailKernel and filter manager views by command station.

Follow real events

ECoS accessory and feedback events update the RailKernel layout so the visual state follows the physical railway.

Program DCC decoders

Read decoder identity and CV values on the programming track and use decoder templates to expose the relevant configuration.

Built for testing as well as daily operation

  • The integrated protocol monitor shows transmitted commands, replies and ECoS events when detailed diagnosis is needed.
  • RailKernel keeps slow command-station communication away from the user interface and reports failed operations clearly.
  • M4 locomotive support and wider ECoS compatibility are being expanded through practical testing with real hardware.
