Base station in Run mode
The Base station in Run mode input becomes true when the base station
goes into Run mode. This occurs on startup and when you tell a base station in
Standby mode to change to Run mode.
Important: Do not create the task:
IF Base station in Run mode THEN Reset base station
This results in an inoperable base station.
Use this input for tasks you want included in Task Manager's initialization
routine, to start timers, and to disable base station functions that you only want
enabled under particular circumstances. You can also set a system flag to a value
other than the usual default.
You can use the inverse of this input, but it will not work with all actions. For
example, Transmit CWID now cannot work, because CWID is only
transmitted in Run mode.
Example
IF Base station in Run mode THEN Disable talk through repeater
IF Base station in Run mode THEN Disable line controlled base
station
This example could be used to configure a backup base station with everything
disabled but ready to go into operation when needed.
Example
IF NOT Base station in Run mode THEN Disable auxiliary supply
IF Base station in Run mode THEN Enable auxiliary supply
This example can be used in TaitNet trunking systems to turn off power to the
CMM when the base station is taken out of service.
Counter at maximum
The Counter at maximum (Countername) input becomes true when the
particular named counter reaches the maximum value set for it in Configure >
Task Manager > Counters.
The counter value changes through Task Manager actions such as Increment
counter. Counter values are read at the beginning of a processing cycle. If the
counter value changes during the processing cycle, it is immediately available;
any subsequent tasks will use the new input. When the base station enters Run
mode, all counters are reset to 0.
Example
IF Counter at maximum (LightTrigger) THEN Activate Digital
Output 2.
Flag set (flagname)
The Flag set (flagname) input becomes true when Task Manager sets the
corresponding flag. Flagname represents any name that you assigned to the flag
in Configure > Task Manager > Flags. The state of flags is read at the beginning
of a processing cycle. If a flag state changes during the processing cycle, it is
immediately available; any subsequent tasks will use the new input. When the
base station enters Run mode, each flag is cleared, unless a Task Manager task
explicitly sets it.
