returned by the controller after it has changed to this mode, otherwise the<br />

G1 and G2 bits should be returned simultaneously.<br />

(13) Extension Permit - EP<br />

7.1.3 Junction Reply Bits<br />

The "EP" control bit is sent to a junction configured with this bit to allow<br />

the extension of a stage to service bus priority<br />

(1) Stage Reply Bits - Gn<br />

The "G" reply bits indicate to the <strong>System</strong> which stage is running. Normally<br />

the bit appears when the last phase is operating and clears when the first<br />

phase enters its intergreen.<br />

The "G" bits are used to verify that the controller is correctly responding to<br />

control from the "F" bits, see sections 7.1.2(1) and 7.13.<br />

If both "GA" and "GB" are present then a 'signals off' fault is reported, see<br />

also section 7.1.3(6).<br />

(2) Stage Demand Confirmation - DRn<br />

Up to two (or eight 11 ) "DRn" reply bits can be used to indicate whether<br />

there is an on-street demand for a particular stage "n". These are used to<br />

ensure that the demand is serviced the next time the controller is given the<br />

opportunity.<br />

(3) Part-time signals confirm - OL<br />

See section 7.1.2(4).<br />

(4) Detector Fault - DF<br />

The Detector fault detection facility in a controller (DFM 12 ) is designed to<br />

indicate the state of controllers' VA 13 detector fault bits. If a failure is<br />

detected then the "DF" reply bit can be set in the OTU's reply word and this<br />

reports that there is a fault with the detectors connected to the controller. If<br />

this bit is present then consideration should be given to using one of the<br />

demand bits, "DX" or "Dn", to minimise the adverse effects, such as nonappearance<br />

of a stage.<br />

(5) Sub-sequence Demand indicator - SD<br />

This facility uses the "SD" reply bit to allow an on-street demand to cause<br />

the <strong>System</strong> to select one of two stage sequences written into the current<br />

fixed time plan 14 . The choice to be made by the <strong>System</strong> is indicated by the<br />

controller setting or clearing the "SD" bit in its reply word. The bit can be<br />

the result of a demand for a particular controller phase or stage, or it might<br />

be the output from a queue logic board or other two state device.<br />
