SEL-2020 Instruction Manual
COPY m n (Access Level 2)
The COPY command copies port-specific settings port (P), automatic message (A), data
movement (M), user-defined command (U), and logic (L) settings) from Port m to Port n (m and
n equal any combination of 1 through 16). You would type COPY 1 ALL<ENTER> to copy
Port 1 settings to all other rear-panel ports.
Use SET to modify copied settings. Settings cannot be copied to any port that is actively
involved in transparent communications.
The SEL-2020 makes the following confirmations for each port to which settings are copied:
*>>COPY 1 5<ENTER>
*>>COPY 1 5<ENTER>*>>COPY 1 5<ENTER>
*>>COPY 1 5<ENTER>
Copy settings from Port 1 to Port 5 (Y/N) ? Y<ENTER>
Y<ENTER>Y<ENTER>
Y<ENTER>
Perform auto-configuration on Port 5 (Y/N) ? N<ENTER>
N<ENTER>N<ENTER>
N<ENTER>
Port 5 Settings Changed
*>>
If you copy to multiple ports using the ALL parameter, the confirmation is repeated for each
port.
If you copy settings having CONFIG=Y, the SEL-2020 asks if you want to auto-configure the
destination port. If you answer N (No), the SEL-2020 assumes the devices connected to the two
ports are identical. If you answer Y (Yes), you may lose some auto-message settings on the
destination port if the connected device is not the same type as the device connected to the source
port.
When you use the COPY command, the SEL-2020 will make changes to port numbers used in
strings and in SEL
OGIC Control Equations within the copied settings based on the following
rules: for the command format “COPY n m”, any reference to Port n will change to m, and any
reference to a port other than n will remain unchanged. Always use the SHOWSET command to
verify settings following a copy. Use the SET command to make required adjustments to
settings.
The SALARM bit asserts for one second after a successful copy to indicate that the settings have
changed. If there is no I/O board installed, the alarm contact will also close for one second..
If you copy settings to the current port, change your terminal’s communication parameters to
match once you accept the changes.
DATE (Access Level 1)
The DATE command, without parameters, displays the date stored by the internal calendar/clock.
Use the date command with a date parameter to change the date: DATE mm/dd/yy. For
example, set the date to March 20, 1994, by entering:
*>>DATE 03/20/94<ENTER>
*>>DATE 03/20/94<ENTER>*>>DATE 03/20/94<ENTER>
*>>DATE 03/20/94<ENTER>
03/20/94
