Digital driving enjoyment begins with the Z21 digital control centre!
This is where all the elements of your model railway system are brought together, whether it's a standard handheld controller or modern touch operation via an app. All your inputs are translated as control commands for locos and turnouts, and output to the track.
This turns the control of multiple trains into child's play!
Simple operation
The most important thing in a digital control system is the operation.
It must be simple, intuitive and easy to use. You still want to maintain an overview of the entire system and fleet. This ease-of-use should also include configuring and setting the devices.
All these benefits are provided by our free of charge Z21 app.
Those who like driving their locos with an actual rotary control in their hand, don't miss out with the Z21 multiMAUS either.
The handheld controller that has been tried and tested hundreds of thousands of time can now also be enjoyed in complete freedom wirelessly in the form of the Z21 ᴡʟᴀɴMAUS.
A combination of the Z21 app and Z21 multiMAUS is also a dream.
Easy connections
Plug it into anything you have!
The variety of interfaces, such as X-BUS, LocoNet™ and CAN, allows you to connect over 30 different handheld controllers, feedback modules as well as switching modules from various manufacturers.
New devices are being integrated and tested on an ongoing basis.
Naturally the control centre is also compatible with older ROCO components, such as Lokmaus2/3. LocoNet™ can also be used to use a multiMAUSpro via the multiZENTRALEpro.
The ideal basis for PC supported automation
The Z21 has an open LAN interface, making it the ideal gateway for connecting your automation program with the model train system.
The three models
To meet the various requirements, there are three versions of the Z21. They differ in the level of equipment.
For being perfectly adjusted to big scales (0, 1, 2/G), the Z21 components are also available with 6 A main track power.
Easy maintenance: Z21 Maintenance Tool
