3-2.5.2.4.52 How to Enable a Networked Control Unit to Process Event Messages
Broadcast by other Networked Control Units
Purpose: To allow a networked control unit to process and act upon
event messages broadcast from other networked control units. This
procedure enables the control unit to process messages as follows:
1. From any other control unit when no sub-groups are used
2. From any other control unit in the group when sub-groups are used
3-2.5.2.4.53 How to Prevent a Networked Control Unit from Processing Event
Messages Broadcast by other Networked Control Units
Purpose: To prevent a networked control unit from processing and
acting upon event messages broadcast by other control units in the
network. This procedure restricts event display and output control to
events monitored by the control unit itself.
CAUTION
Check the system programming to ensure that all other network control units
that react to specific initiating signals from this control unit have this node
number referenced in their event-output-control programs. See the
Configuration Program User’s Guide for event-output-control programming.
