Toggle Mode" And "Manual Mode; Toggle Mode; Manual Mode - Maretron M-Power CLMD16 Configuration Manual

____________________________________________________________

"Toggle Mode" and "Manual Mode"

"Toggle Mode" is part of the Switching Application that is not an independent "Switching
Element" but instead, a "Switching Element" added to the ECB directly. When this mode is
enabled, the state of the ECB will change to the opposite state whether On or Off each time an
Input Signal changes from Off to On, including ECB direct, "Network Input" Toggle commands.
This command could come from a Digital Switching compatible MFD or any equipment running
Maretron's N2KView® software.
"Manual Mode" Manual Mode is part of the Switching Application that is not an independent
"Switching Element" but instead, disallows the ability for devices using NMEA 2000® 127500
Load Controller PGN to have direct ECB control accessibility. This does not mean the device
using 127500 PGN will have no way to gain access to control an ECB, but instead limits the
accessibility to only "Network Inputs 1-16" from the Available Signals to be used as inputs
within the Switching Application. This feature can be used to funnel commands from any
device using 127500 PGN into CLMD16 Switching Application Logic. By default, "Manual
Mode" is not enabled and the CLMD16's ECBs can be controlled by compatible third party
MFDs and Maretron's N2KView® software. Please note, the ECB control method from a
compatible MFD will be limited to the MFD's internal Switching Application software. The
software used by third-party MFDs is usually limited to Toggle Operation whereas Maretron's
N2KView® may be able to perform the desired action without the use of "Manual Mode". By
activating "Manual Mode" on any ECB, direct ECB control is not possible however, the
"Network Input" signal received from the MFD may be directed into any CLMD16 "Switching
Element(s)" then back into the ECB control input allowing for ultimate configurability such as
sequencing, special lighting control, modes, and group switching even with a third-party MFD.
"Manual Mode" can also be used to disallow access to ECBs that are designated for Load
Sequencing or Sub-Routines.
