Priority 1
panels will always become an active station if required. It will take the
engine control from panels with priority 1, 2 or 3.
●
Priority 2
panels must ask for engine control. Priority 1 and Priority 2 panels with
engine control must agree to the handover.
●
Priority 3
panels can never do engine commands.
The following are guidelines for selecting a station priority.
● If this RP is the only remote panel in the installation, then select
Priority 1
.
● If there are more RP remote panels than this one, then select
Priority 1 or 2
.
● If this RP remote panel is for monitoring only, then select
Priority 3
.

priority control station,
like the engine control
room.

Timeout
This function is used in conjunction with multiple RP remote panels and active station
handover.
Example: An RP panel X is currently the active station for an engine.
If an RP panel Y is requesting active station for an engine, and the operator at RP panel X
does not respond to the request within the defined period of time, then it is assumed there is
no operator at RP panel X.
