The example screen shown in Figure 5-27 illustrates a salvo group named ALL IN1 that, when "fired,"
switches the source group named IN1 to all defined destination groups. Salvo groups are "fired" from
the Salvo Status menu screen (refer to Paragraph 5.12.4) and when executed, all switches defined in the
salvo group are simultaneously switched. All switches in a salvo are taken within the same vertical
interval.
•
Adding a Salvo Group – SSC3 allows a maximum of 64 salvo groups. To add a salvo group,
click the Add button at the bottom of the Salvos box. A place-holder name is added to the Salvo
Engineering Group Name list box and a set-up screen with the name entry fields pre-filled is
displayed in the Information box. You may change the name field entries to the descriptive
name you would like to use for the salvo group.
•
Deleting a Salvo Group - To delete a salvo group, locate the name of the group you wish to
delete in the Salvo Group Engineering Name list box and click to select it. Click "Delete" at the
bottom of the box.
•
Engineering Name, Nickname, Name and Group Number - Salvo group names may be from
one to eight characters in length and constructed using uppercase letters, numbers, and spaces;
however, the first character must be a letter. Three fields are provided for naming the salvo
group. In the case of the salvo configuration, PESA recommends that you choose a name that is
descriptive of the function of the salvo. In this example, the name ALL IN1, signifies a salvo
that switches the input signals defined by source group IN1, to the physical outputs associated
with every defined destination group. Each of the name fields is discussed below:
Engineering Name – Up to 8 alphanumeric characters are allowed when assigning the
-
Engineering Name to the salvo group.
Nickname – Up to 8 alphanumeric characters are allowed when assigning the Nickname to
-
the salvo group.
Name – This field is essentially a free text space where you may enter a descriptive name,
-
up to 32 characters in length, for the salvo group. This name is only displayed on this
configuration screen and may be used to more clearly comment the salvo function.
•
Group Number – The group number is sequentially assigned by the software and is not user
definable.
•
Defining A Salvo Group - Click the cursor in the top cell of the Destination column. Locate the
first destination you wish to assign to the salvo group from the Destinations list at the top of the
screen and double-click the entry to copy the destination name into the cell. In like manner,
move the cursor to the cells under the various switching level columns and using the entries in
the Source list double-click the name of the source you wish to switch to the indicated level of
the destination. If desired, you may enter additional destinations and assign sources to them.
