22.13 UNIDIRECTIONAL CONNECTION MODE
The unidirectional connection mode is used to control one or more processors from a remote site, for
example over a satellite link.
In this case, it will only be possible to send commands or new values for operating parameters one way,
without the ability to check whether the change has taken place or the current status.
A typical application is centralized remote control of processors installed at a scattered array of transmitting
sites.
As explained in the previous paragraph dedicated to bidirectional connections, the software allows you to
assign a specific name to each processor (Target Name) and to group the processors themselves together
(for example, those corresponding to a region).
To return to the example given in the paragraph on direct (local) processor programming (3 processors in the
Tuscany region and another 4 in the Marches):
-
To selectively program only the Lucca processor, simply type ‘Lucca’ into the space reserved for the
Target Name in the unidirectional connection screen (the Group Name is not necessary, since the Target
Name already uniquely identifies a processor).
-
To program selectively all (and only) the processors in Tuscany, simply enter ‘Tuscany’ into the space
reserved for the Group Name in the unidirectional connection screen (the Target Name is not necessary)
- Finally,
to
program all processors the same regardless of their geographical position, you may enter
the password ALL directly into the box for the Target Name or Group Name.
Each processor ‘responds’ to the commands sent remotely (via the serial port 2) ONLY IF the Target
Name and/or Group Name coincide, or if the password ALL is present.
