Setup Relating to DCU
Note
For setup relating to DCU, it is necessary to make the same settings on multiple control panels (maximum three units) that are sharing the DCU. After carrying out the DCU setup on one control panel, make the same settings on the other control panels.
Settings Relating to Parallel Inputs (Input Config Menu)
The DCU parallel input ports are assigned with the following priority sequence.
1.When external boxes are set in the Router/Tally>Router>External Box Assign menu, the parallel inputs are assigned to the external box inputs in order.
2.When tally settings are carried out in the Router/Tally>Tally Enable menu, tally inputs are assigned automatically.
In this menu, you set only the input ports which are unused after making the above assignments.
To assign GPI inputs to DCU parallel input ports, display the DCU>Input Config menu.
To display the Input Config menu
In the Engineering Setup menu, select VF5 ‘DCU’ and HF1 ‘Input Config.’ The status area shows input port information.
Assigning a GPI input port
