PTC - General Menu
The PTC - General menu is shown in Figure 4-10 below. Some parameters may have a key lock or a PTC
designator. These parameters affect applicable UCN (Unique Check Number) and PTC UCN. Changing these
parameters will place the system in the safe mode and render the console in an unconfigured state. The proper
UCN or PTC UCN will be required and entered into the console to restore normal operation.

WARNING
THE WIU ADDRESS MUST BE UNIQUE FOR EACH PTC CONSOLE
PTC Enable GEOs
: set to
Yes
for PTC enabled GEO applications (set to
Yes
automatically by OCE)
Console as NV Logic Ctrlr
:
Yes
,
No
, defaults to
No
. Leave as
No
as this feature is not currently supported
Log GEO Events
:
Yes
,
No
, defaults to
Yes
. This is used to select whether the GEO sends events to the
Console for logging in the Console Event Log. In general, this can be set to
Yes
. Would only set to
No
on a very
large GEO set up with many GEO units being monitored by one Console where the Echelon link is near
capacity.
Sync GEO and SEAR clocks
:
Yes
,
No
, defaults to
No
. Used to select whether the Console sends time
updates to the GEO and SEAR to synchronize their time to that of the Console.
WIU Channel Enabled
:
Yes
,
No
, defaults to
Yes
. Used to enable the Console to send PTC messages. Keep as
Yes
.
Send Msg on Change of State
:
Yes
,
No
, defaults to
Yes
. When set to
Yes
the GEO will send an updated state
to the Console when the state of the data sent to the console changes. When set to
No
, the GEO will not send
on change of state.
Msg Timeout (minutes)
: 5-240, defaults to 5 minutes. This is the message timeout on the GEO from the
Console. If the GEO does not receive a valid message from Console in this time, it will set the link to
Out of
Session
and stop sending messages to the Console. This is only used as a
Keep Alive
message so that the
GEO will stop sending messages if the Console is removed, meaning, this is a non-vital function. The vital
timeout on the Console is set using the
Msg Update Rate
(see below).
Msg Update Rate (ms)
: 500-3000ms, default 1500ms. This sets the message update rate on the GEO for
messages sent to the Console. The Console will set a message timeout to the (2 * Msg Update Rate) + 100ms.
If the Console receives no valid messages from the GEO in this message timeout, it will set the link to
Out of
Session
and report the PTC devices associated with this GEO as restrictive.
