command

no question asked.
Note! If the operator tries to
execute a command, and the

it will immediately become the

upon Confirmation Timeout
Priority.
If in command, will handover
command to priority 1 or 2
panels immediately.
Make sure to select a priority for the RP remote panel that best fits its use.
Timeout Behavior
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.
In these instances, the RP panel X can be configured to
automatically either release its active station status for
the engine, or deny the request altogether.
Note that either action takes place after the defined
timeout.
