NTCIP Object Reference - Channel Parameters 1-16 (MM->1->3->1)

CHANNEL PARAMETERS are defined in NTCIP 1202 section 2.9 CHANNEL PARAMETERS.  Naztec controllers provide 24 individually programmed output channels (2.9.1 MAXIMUM CHANNELS).  The channel number is  a "read-only" object (2.9.2.1 CHANNEL NUMBER) and is highlighted in red in the above menu (you cannot change this value). 

Ø / Olp#

2.9.2.2 CHANNEL CONTROL SOURCE PARAMETERS - The Channel Source Parameter and Channel Control Type (highlighted in yellow) combine to define each load switch output. This feature allows any phase, ped or overlap output to be mapped to any hardware output channel. Valid entries are 1-16 for phase, ped or overlap outputs or a value of "0" to make the channel inactive (or dark).

Type

2.9.2.3 CHANNEL CONTROL TYPE PARAMETERS - The Channel Source Parameter and Channel Control Type (highlighted in yellow) combine to define each load switch output.  The Channel Control Type parameter indicates the type of Control Source.

VEH - (phaseVehicle) the source of the channel output is a vehicle display (phase 1-16)

OLP - (overlap) the source of the channel output is an overlap display (overlap 1-16)

PED - (phasePedestrian) the source of the channel output is a pedestrian display (phase 1-16)

Example - The example menu above shows the default channel assignments for a Version 50 controller.  Vehicle phase outputs are mapped to channels 1-8.  Overlaps A - D (1-4) are mapped to channels 9-12.  Pedestrian outputs for phases 2-4-6-8 are mapped to channels 13-16.

Flash

2.9.2.4 CHANNEL FLASH PARAMETERS (bits 0-2)  The channel Flash parameter defines the channel's state during automatic flash. Select the color to flash (RED, YEL, DRK) and whether or not to flash on the alternate half hertz ('X' = YES). 

Alt Hz

2.9.2.4 CHANNEL FLASH PARAMETERS (bit 3) All channels programmed with an 'X' for alternate half hertz (ALT Hz) will flash together, and all channels programmed with a  ' . ' for Alt Hz will flash together.  Note that alternating the flash output puts less stress on the cabinet flasher. 

Example: The menu above alternates the flashing output between the left-turn phases (1-3-5-7) and the through phases (2-4-6-8) in a standard 8-phase quad left controller. 

Dim Grn
Dim Yel
Dim Red

2.9.2.5 CHANNEL DIM PARAMETERS (bit 0-2) -  The Dim Parameter determines which half of the 60 hertz AC cycle to turn off during dimming, and which colors to dim. Care should be taken that flashing is evenly distributed between the AC line cycle halves. Select DIM RED, DIM GRN, or DIM YEL for each output channel with an 'X' if you want this output dimmed.

Dim Cyc 

2.9.2.5 CHANNEL DIM PARAMETERS (bit 3) -  This value indicates which half of the line cycle to use for dimming the outputs selected (specify a '+' or '-').
