It complies in all areas with the current RCN standards and can be used in DCC, mfx and Motorola digital systems. Furthermore, it also works in analog mode with DC or AC voltage. The decoder is RailCom and RailCom Plus capable.

The innovative PIKO SmartDecoder XP5.1 with many braking section functions automatically recognizes the respective operating mode and has a wide range of setting options for the additional functions. The load-controlled decoder works with a fundamentally newly developed auto-adaptive motor control for silky-smooth operation and is therefore suitable not only for DC motors, but also for bell-shaped armature motors up to a continuous current consumption of 1.2 A. Short-term higher motor currents up to 2 A are well tolerated.

The decoder masters ABC braking, ABC automatic shuttle as well as ABC slow speed. The setting of the motor characteristic is done via the minimum, average and maximum speed (simple characteristic), or via the extended characteristic with individual settings for 28 speed steps. The decoder has two direction-dependent lighting outputs, as well as seven additional special function outputs that can be switched via function keys up to F68 (DCC).

The shunting gear with extended slow speed range as well as the three possible starting and braking delays are also switchable via function keys. The sound of a suitable SUSI sound module can control defined function outputs as well as the motor output of the decoder. For example, the lighting of a diesel locomotive flickers when the engine is started.

Due to the advanced power management the PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1 is supported in case of short-term power loss.
