2. External control units: Smartphone, tablet PC,
The touch panel is the easiest, fastest and most comfortable way to control your locomotives on
smartRail. However, there are good reasons to use a Smartphone, a tablet PC or a
external control device – for instance:
• To use more than only the four basic functions (F1 to F4) of your locomotives.
• To program your locomotives – maybe to re-defi ne function assignment, driving stages, start-up and
braking behaviour or top speed.
• To control your locomotives remotely.
The following pages will tell you what you need to know to connect and operate external end devices to
smartRail.
