I have MS 1 and 2, a CS 1 and a CS 2. With the MS i can acess to 32 functions and with cs1or CS 2 only 16. I've bought the new robel "vehicule" and 2 ESU locos. I can more functions with the MS than with CS 1 or 2. Is this normal? Sorry for my english. I wish to salute all the menbers. Best Regards António 21

Apparently, the CS1 cannot anymore be used together with the CS2 when the CS2 has been updated, but I don't know if that has changed in the meantime. Jeroen

Best Regards António 21 I guess that you did bought MS2 with already upgraded latest version? Märklins old CS1 are out of the business and there is no upgrade for this old system. Same about for the MS1. CS2 and CS3/CS3+ can use 32 functions and the CS2 must be upgrade latest version if you want control 32 function. Do you have DCC protocol in the CS2 too?

There was a specific update version where the CS2 no longer had support for the CS1 as a remote controller - version 4.2.13 is the version that ceases CS1 support.

If you purchased the ESU CS1Reloaded update then you have all updates available including current versions. If you didn't purchase the CS1Reloaded update then you're stuck with v2.0.4 being the latest you can have.

I have the latest upgrade and am running a ESU locomotive with 32 functions but I can't work out how to access the other 16 functions, that is, I have 8 controlled by the physical buttons, and another 8 controlled by the touch screen. How do you access the other 16? Please excuse my ignorance. regards Paul

I don't understand why mfx initially started with a limit of 16 functions, but this legacy still imposes some limitations.

Yes, the CS1 Reloaded kits are not available now. But updates continue to be issued, as Tom points out the last was v4.2.10 in January 2022 which is the same version that was available for newer Ecos versions. Maybe a picture will help.....

ESU V4 decoders are limited to 16 functions in mfx mode, but have more functions in DCC mode. The video confirms what it confirms. Note: To get more than 16 functions after upgrading the CS2, the decoder must be deleted from the CS2 loco list. It may have more functions after the re-registration.

By the way...ESU has stop marketing CS1 Reloaded. It´s a old system. There is limited function in that system. Not worth to get this system at second market, so it´s better to buy new digital system with better soft program.

CS1 Reloaded (discontinued) and ESU ECoS 50200 (not discontinued) share the same code base and have the same features. It is an old, mature, and complete system. The functions are not so limited. But this thread is about CS2. By the way...Märklin has stopped marketing CS2. It´s an old system. There is limited function in that system. But CS2 is the topic in this thread.

My now CS3 is better than the Cs2 as new items give further improvements. However as the thread is about the CS2 it should give all the functions for locos. I see Antonio talks about ESU locos but I don’t have any but would have thought they would operate fully with a CS2. I would sell the CS1 and CS2 and buy the CS3.
		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

Just check the "track" settings. You have DCC if the value is "auto" or a value that includes "DCC". DCC should be on by default.
