The second tab in the east panel of the operating order manages the Prerequisites for the execution of the operating order.

 

Operational state

At the top of the Prerequisites tab, there are three groups for the operating state that should apply for the operating order to be executed:

•Operational state, normal - Switch devices to be in normal operational state.

•Operational state, abnormal - Switch devices to be in an abnormal operational state.

•Operational state, other - A free text field for information that cannot be described as a device off/on.

 

Operational state, normal/abnormal

You can enter switch devices with normal or abnormal switch state in two ways:

•Enter them manually.

•Retrieve them from the map/scheme using the icon .

The station and switch device in these fields must be posted, but do not need to be operational.

If you retrieve a switch device without entering a station, the station is filled in automatically.

The list of switching states (including blocked) is customized according to the switching device type and category.

You can retrieve or enter a line switch without entering a station - the station field is then left blank.

For customers who need to reference optional identities (without the requirement of existence in the network documentation) or use customized switching states, extra lists are available. These lists are not enabled by default. They cannot be used to navigate to map/scheme or for other functions.

 

Operational state, other

The Operational state, other field is used for free text information that is not linked to the network documentation.

You can quickly create text by:

1.Right-click in the field and select Insert Phrase.

2.Select a template text from the list, it is inserted at the cursor. See section Template texts to update the template texts.

 

Automatic switching

You can set automatic switching to Engaged or Disengaged per station.

Enter the station manually or retrieve it from the map/schedule with the icon .

Select the desired setting for the automatic switching.

The list works in the same way as for switching modes.
