Each relay is identified by a single number in the range 0 to 151. The following examples, using the CLOSE command, show the various formats which are used for 1260-18 relay descriptors. Each of the samples shows a module address of 7 for the 1260-18 CLOSE 7.0 -- close channel 0 CLOSE 7.0,5...
User Manual 1260-18 The 1260-18 uses the command INCL to equate two or more 1260-18 INCL relays within a single module. When a relay is included with other Command relays, then closing that relay will close all relays included with the closed relay.
Page 24
The syntax for this use is: INCL When the INCL command is used with no parameters, the 1260 Option 01 will reply with a series of reply lines. Each reply line will correspond to a single include group. The final reply line will be the string: and will be terminated with an ASCII carriage return and linefeed.

If the reply to this command takes more than 80 characters to indicate a single include group, then the reply line will be terminated with a semicolon before the carriage return and linefeed.
The EXCL command uses the syntax: EXCL <exclude list> [E; <exclude list> ] where: <exclude list> is a list of two or more relay descriptors. The relays do NOT have to be on the same 1260 module, nor do Module Specific Syntax 3-7...
XXX is the module address of the 1260-18 ("001" to "012"). All other reply lines for these commands shall follow the syntax used for all of the other 1260 series relay cards. Note that the lines of the reply for the PDATAOUT command will contain relay descriptors which follow the syntax described in this chapter.
A minimum of three reply lines are returned. The FIRST line is as follows: <module>. 1260-18 HIGH DENSITY BASIC SWITCH MODULE where module is the module address of the 1260-18 card ("000" to "012"). The LAST line is as follows: <module>.END Note that there is no space character between the period and the "E"...
<module address> is the switch card address. The response to the PSETUP command for the 1260-18 consists of three lines. Each line consists of a three-digit module address, followed by some information. A sample reply to the PSETUP command is shown below: 007.
User Manual 1260-18 Before-Break (“MBB”), and Immediate (“IMM”). The setup mode may be changed using the “SETUP” command, described in section 3.4 of the 1260 Option 01 manual. The last line containing the "END" characters denotes no more information to report.
