Zimo Elektronik
The “Swiss mapping” was originally introduced for the loco lighting is required by Swiss locomotives. It is also used widely for locos of other countries. The purpose of the "Swiss mapping" is to switch the various states of the locomotive lighting with different function keys, i.e. for situations like driving a single locomotive, cars coupled on driver’s cab 1, or at the driver's cab 2, push-pull, shunting, etc. ZIMO decoders offer between 6 and 10 function outputs (with the exception of a few miniature decoders), large-scale decoders even more.
