<strong>System</strong> <strong>Handbook</strong> for an STC <strong>UTC</strong> <strong>System</strong> 666/HE/16940/000<br />

faulty, to force a stage during a green wave or for traffic engineering<br />

reasons. The <strong>System</strong> allows a maximum of two (or eight) demand<br />

dependent stages per controller and the "n" is used to indicate the stage<br />

letter. The "Dn" bits can form part of a plan or can be set by operator<br />

command.<br />

(4) Part time signals - SL<br />

The "SL" control bit is used to switch part time signals on or off and the<br />

"OL" reply bit to confirm that this has happened. The facility is available<br />

through the timetable or by operator command.<br />

The <strong>System</strong> allows the sense of the "SL" bit to be configured for each<br />

junction such that one junction may use SL set to 1 to switch the signals and<br />

another use 0.<br />

(5) Solar Switch Override - SO<br />

The "SO" control bit is used to switch all the signal aspects at a junction<br />

from the dim state (normal during the day) to the bright state. This is<br />

normally used during bright sunlight to make them more visible. The<br />

facility is available through timetable, CAST or operator command.<br />

(6) Local Link inhibiting - LL<br />

The "LL" control bit is used to modify the operation of a junction that is not<br />

currently controlled. Normally it forces the junction controller from its<br />

normal off-line mode to the vehicle-actuated mode. It is available by<br />

timetable or operator command.<br />

(7) Synchronise Controller time - TS<br />

The "TS" control bit allows the <strong>System</strong> to synchronise the real time clocks<br />

of all suitably equipped MCE 0141 controllers, thus ensuring that coordination<br />

is maintained when the <strong>System</strong> is off-line. At a pre-defined time<br />

the bit is cycled through a "101" sequence by the <strong>System</strong>, and those<br />

controllers with this facility set their internal clocks to the pre-defined time<br />

on the leading edge of the second "1". This action is confirmed with the<br />

"CS" reply bit. The pre-defined times are configured for each junction<br />

individually.<br />

An additional facility can be configured for each controller such that the<br />

number of seconds' reply of the TS bit determines the day-of-week in the<br />

controller's internal clock.<br />

(8) Fallback Mode - FM<br />

This facility causes the "FM" control bit to be sent that allows the CLF<br />

mode of a controller to be disabled such that it works in VA mode when no<br />

control bits are being sent. It can be set by timetable of operator command.<br />

The controller may be configured so that the "FM" bit selects any of the<br />

fallback modes.<br />

(9) Synchronise Group Timers - SG<br />
