ECoS LocoNet Adapter

ECoS LocoNet Adapter

Details:

The ESU L.Net Converter provides a simple and effective way to integrate existing LocoNet® devices into an ESU ECoS digital control system. Designed for modellers upgrading to an ESU command station, the converter allows compatible handheld throttles, feedback modules and accessory devices from manufacturers such as Uhlenbrock® and Digitrax® to continue operating seamlessly within the ECoS environment.

Acting as a LocoNet® Master, the L.Net Converter receives commands from connected LocoNet® devices and translates them for transmission via the ECoSlink bus to the ESU command station. This allows existing investments in handheld controllers, occupancy detectors and switching modules to be retained when migrating to an ESU digital system.

Compatible handheld throttles remain fully synchronised with the ECoS command station, enabling operators to control DCC, Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4® equipped locomotives through supported LocoNet® controllers. Popular devices including Digitrax®, Uhlenbrock®, Daisy®, Fred® and ProfiBoss® handhelds can be integrated into the system for flexible operation.

The converter also supports the continued use of LocoNet® feedback modules and accessory control devices, making it ideal for layouts that already rely on occupancy detection, route control or computer-based automation software. Galvanic isolation between the ECoSlink and LocoNet® networks helps ensure reliable communication and protects against electrical interference between connected systems.

The L.Net Converter is particularly useful for modellers upgrading from an existing LocoNet®-based digital control system, enabling a smooth transition to ECoS while retaining valuable infrastructure. It also supports layouts controlled by PC software that utilise LocoNet® communication, helping bridge legacy equipment with modern ESU command stations.
