Welcome to the forum.

I have a KM1 01 180 Gauge 1 loco and I run it with a CS2 and also an ESU Ecos.

My loco has a Loksound XL 4 decoder which has both mFX and DCC protocols. The CS2 automatically registered the loco with mFX the first time I used it with the CS2. The CS3 should do the same - just connect your CS3 to the track, put the loco on the track and it should automatically register itself with the CS3. If you want to run the loco with DCC, you will have to disable mFX on the CS3 and manually enter the DCC details for the loco into the CS3.

Thanks Bigdaddynz,
mine loco has a motor decoder DCCD-5, a sound decoder HDKM-16, a smoke decoder DSM-4 and, for me, there is no way to insert the loco on the CS3. The loco is never recognised also when I try to insert it manually via DCC.
Any idea?

Yes, I have an idea and welcome here at marklin-users.net.

Do you have manuals for your loco in English or only in German? Do you understand the German language?

KM is offering all manuals on their website for their products, but I cannot find any manual in another language than German. Even it looks like their website is only in German available. If you do not understand German, I think it will be not easy for you to understand your KM1 loco very well.

First, does your loco has the article number KM1 119 429? I am not familiar with KM only with H0 and mainly with Maerklin products. But for running a loco you have to know the format and the digital address of your loco. Doesn't matter which model, producer or digital processor chip is inside. What you have to know is the format (MM, mfx, DCC, etc.) and the digital address for this format (e.g. H0 Maerklin locos are mainly presetted in the DCC format at #3).

For this purpose I must know which loco you exactly got. Because in these manuals are the standard address listed, which are set by the producing company. In your case the manual for this KM1 may be art. #119 429 (also #109 429 may be possible) for DCC it is the digital address 94 - I guess. In the manual stands "operating mode DCC address 94". This is for the model BR 94 2nd serie. It exists a BR 94 as well. This probably is the 1st serie. For this model the manual indicates a DCC address 49.

Second, back to Maerklin and your CS 3.

Did you download the CS 3 manual from the Maerklin website? It does not matter, if it is a CS 3 or a CS 3+ manual. These manuals from Maerklin are identical. At page #7 of the manual are the difference between a CS 3 and a CS 3 plus explained.

https://www.maerklin.de/...e/details/article/60216/

https://static.maerklin....85fc4ac1761561699635.pdf

This manual is in 6 languages available and in Italien too. These languages are in one PDF file and the page numbers for each language are identical. So at every other language the manual starts at page 1 again. It helps. Because I can read the manual in the German section under the same page number as it is the identical one with page # in the Italian section, which probably you are using.

Look in the CS 3 PDF-manual at page #14 "Running a Locomotive with Address Control". There the manual tells you, how to run your loco without registering. You just insert the digital address and the format you want to use. Than it shall run. If not, you have to search for another digital address. A CS 3 allows you to read the digital address out of the decoder from your loco. How to do this, it tells you the CS 3 manual at page #12.

Many success and nice running.

Regards

Manual for the KM1 BR94 available here in German: https://www.km-1.de/Bedienungsanleitung_BR94.pdf

If in doubt email KM1, the owner Andreas Krugg speaks perfect English.

To get back on topic, despite Serge's unhelpful comments, it looks like KM1 are using new decoders

https://www.km-1.de/html...cd-5_digitaldecoder.html

https://www.km-1.de/html/hdkm-16_soundmodul.html

English translations follow

HDKM16.JPG

So, it seems no mFX so the loco will not register itself. The only way is to manually create a new loco as per the instructions in the CS3 manual TeeWolf posted a link to. Use the function list in the locos manual that I posted a link to to set up the functions in the CS3 (page 3) - see list below.

The only way to get this loco to register automatically is to use a controller that supports Railcom, such as the ESU Ecos. The CS3 does not support Railcom.

BR94.JPG

English translation:

Drive
Function = light I cab. (I presume this is F0)
F1 = sound on / off
F2 = whistle I short whistle
F3 = Rangierkupplung front
F4 = rear marshalling coupling
F5 = smoke
F6 = cylinder vapor
F7 = maneuvering / lighting F8 = bell


If you are still having issues, maybe you could ask either the dealer who sold you the CS3 or the dealer who sold you the KM1 loco to help.

Edit: This may not be the correct manual for the KM1 BR94 you have as the manual I linked to makes reference to the loco having an ESU decoder.

Can you please advise the KM1 item number of the loco you have.

I have a new KM-1 18-230 loco that does not work with my ESU cab. I trim (smaller system). Will CS3 automatically register the KM1 and give me all 30 functions of sound and smoke? And I suppose my Marklin gauge 1 locos with mfx will automatically register?

I have the same problem. I have a brand new JN-1 18-230 locomotive. My ESU cab control did not auto-register the loco nor did any program I gcwirk fir me. Will CS3 automatically register and deliver all 30 functions? Please respond.

Did you tried to set loco decoder only at DCC protocol first?
I have never heard about KM1 new sound decoder and i thought they still (?) keep on ESU Loksound 5 XL.
H0
DCC = Digital Command Control
