For systems configured in GANGED mode, POLES or “virtual
modules” may be formed to assist the programming and
operation of the system.
6.2.4. Poles (Virtual Modules)
The concept and functionality of POLES or “virtual” modules is
summarized as follows:
• POLES are used only in PARALLEL systems.
• POLES are “virtual” modules that gang together two or
more “actual” modules. The system can have as many
POLES as required.
• Operation on a POLE affects all the module’s members of
the POLE.
• Any module member of a POLE maintains its independent
functionality.
For example, in a system with three modules, Module 2 and
Module 3 may be identified as POLE 4. POLE 4 is addressed in
command syntax as “Module 4”. Command operations specifying
“Module 4” simultaneously perform the command operation on
Module 2 and Module 3. However, any module maintains its
independent functionality and may be addressed as follows:
• When Module 1 is specified in the command syntax, the
command operation is performed on Module 1.
• When Module 2 is specified in the command syntax, the
command operation is performed on Module 2.
• When Module 3 is specified in the command syntax, the
command operation is performed on Module 3.
