You can use custom timers in equations. An equation can start a timer, test whether a timer
has expired, or can test whether it is still running. See section 8.1 on page 47.
Table 31 describes the columns in the Custom Timers view.
19.45 Input / Output Circuit Summary
The Job Tree contains Input Summary and Output Summary items. Select either of these
items to see a list of all of the circuits on the job.
On products that support them, this list may include Correlatable Switches. These will not
have a value in the Loop and Address columns.
19.46 Node Grouping
Node grouping is a way of isolating nodes from each other. Nodes that belong to one group
are isolated from nodes that belong to another group. Alarms and troubles that occur in one
group are not annunciated on the nodes of another group.
For example, in a facility consisting of two towers, you can place the DGP (data gathering
panel) nodes of the North Tower in the North group and the DGP nodes of the South Tower in
South group. If there is a CACF (central alarm control facility) node in a common area (for
example, a lobby), you can place it in both groups. Alarms or fire drill activation in the North
Tower will not be transmitted to the South Tower, and vice versa. The CACF node, because it
is a member of both groups, will annunciate events from both towers.
Note:
As per UL 864 and UL 2572 only a setting of un-assigned is permissible.
