The UWT-100 Universal WiFi Throttle can be connected to ESU DCC systems. Although the ESU Cab Control and ECoS command systems are not directly compatible with the WiThrottle protocol, they do work with the LNWI device from Digitrax which will enable users to connect their UWT-100 devices with their ESU system over WiFi.

Connecting to Cab Control Systems

To connect your UWT-100 Universal WiFi Throttle to an ESU Cab Control system, you will need a Mobile Control II throttle, ESU L.Net converter, and a Digitrax LNWI device.

  1. Connect your Cab Control to the L.Net converter with an ECoS link cable.
  2. Connect the L.Net converter to the LNWI device with a LocoNet cable.
  3. Turn your UWT-100 on, search for networks, and connect to the LNWI device.
