Displacement Specifies whether it is possible that the TCU will be displaced by other nodes.
/Priority Displacement priority: Specifies the priority which influences whether the TCU will be
displaced by other nodes.
The possible values lie between 0 and 10. The smaller the value, the faster the TCU
will be displaced. If the displacement is blocked, the priority will be ignored.
Start Specifies whether the TCU is to be started active, i.e. as operator panel.
/Priority Start-up priority: Specifies the priority of the TCU connection to be used.
Any value greater than 0 is permitted. The larger the value, the lower the connection
priority.
