The last column is labeled Forced Status. The Forced Status gives you the ability to set the
output for automatic control or manual control. The three choices are Not Forced, On or Off .
When set to Not Forced, the output is controlled automatically from either the C or Ladder
program. The other two options, On (closed) and Off (open), will manually force the output
to these states. When set to On or Off, the outputs cannot be controlled automatically and can
only be changed from the software.
UAF
Inputs and Outputs can be referenced within the SCADA 3000 using the individual channel’s
physical address. The physical address is referred to as the UAF, or Universal Address Format.
The identifying UAF for each channel is listed on the left column of all screens on the I/O
form. The UAF format is used extensively in the SCADA 3000 for reading, writing, referenc-
ing or assigning parameters. They are required when programming Alarms, Voice messages,
Datalogging, PID control, C-programs, and Ladder programs.
See “Universal Address Format”
earlier in this chapter for more detailed information on the UAF format.
