2. Digital mode (DAISY-System and DAISY throttle) 

Used as a digital control system, the combination of DAISY-throttle plus 
Power-2 (which we call “DAISY-System”) constitutes a multi-protocol 
digital Command Station for the Motorola old and new format 
(locomotive addresses 1 through 255) and for the DCC format (14, 28 
and 128 speed steps; locomotive addresses 1 through 9999). 
Furthermore, if all locomotives are of the DCC format, it can also be 
used to control, through locomotive address zero, an analog locomotive 
(a locomotive not equipped with a digital decoder). Turnout decoders 
can be either of the Motorola or of the DCC format. DCC decoders can 
be programmed using either the CV or the Register mode. 

 2.1 

Operation 

(1)  Large 4-digit display for showing all system 

information 

(2)  Rotary encoder used as a speed knob for 

controlling the loco speed and also for loco 
selection, turnout address selection and for 
value/parameter input during programming 

(3)  Driving direction indicators (triangular LEDs) 
(4)  [Stop]: layout Power Off/On toggle 
(5)  Turnout key for activating turnout 

mode and for turnout/signal ad-
dress selection 

(6) Programming key for per-

forming DCC programming 
procedures and for the setup 
of DAISY operational para-
meters (Special Options) 

(7) Locomotive key for drive 

mode selection and for loco-
motive (address) selection 

(8)  Function keys [f1] through [f4]. These keys control locomotive 

functions in drive mode, while they control turnouts in turnout 
mode 

(9)  [Off] key for turning the locomotive lights off 
(10) [function] key for turning the locomotive lights on 

Speed knob 

The speed knob is used for controlling the locomotive speed. Turning 
the speed knob clockwise increases locomotive speed, while turning 
the speed dial counterclockwise decreases locomotive speed. If the 
locomotive is stopped or if it has already reached its maximum speed, 
further rotations in the corresponding direction are ignored. 

If you select a locomotive which is moving, the throttle automatically 
displays the locomotive speed and let’s you control the locomotive
