<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 />
