Global Timeout: This parameter is used with the Timeout setting of the Network List for each network RTU.
An RTU will wait for Timeout milliseconds for a reply to its first message attempt. If more attempts are
required, the RTU will wait a combination of Timeout and Global Timeout milliseconds before initiating the
next attempt or recording a message failure as detailed in the Timeout section of the Network List.
Quiet Time before TX: [Applicable to radio communications only] The minimum amount of quiet time [carrier
signal not detected] that an RTU will wait before sending a message. Used to implement priority in a radio
system to prevent message clashes. Quiet Time Before TX is usually set to 0 in the master RTU. When used
in store-and-forward RTUs, messages are delayed by this time before being forwarded and so a Quiet Time
of 1000 ms is typically used in store-and-forward RTUs.
Update Register Blocks and Update Hardware Blocks: (ALL, NONE, 16#0000 to 16#FFFF) The local
register blocks and hardware register blocks that will be checked and polled (if they have changed) when an
Rx Update message is received from another RTU. A hexadecimal constant (please see the appendix -
Hexadecimal Numbers) can be entered corresponding to the blocks to update. Alternatively, ALL (all blocks
are updated) or NONE (none of the blocks are updated) can be entered. When ALL is selected (or 16#FFFF
hex) for Update Register Blocks, all 2048 local registers are updated. Note: a maximum of 16 register and
hardware blocks can be checked and updated for each RTU. Ie. If ALL is specified for Update Register
Blocks, then NONE must be specified for Update Hardware Blocks and vice versa.

I/O Power Saving Control
Configures the RTU to switch on and off various output voltages (not supported by LP-x RTUs). This enables
the RTU to reduce power consumption by switching off external devices. Analog and Digital input values are
frozen (maintained) while the output voltages are switched off.
The voltages that can be controlled are:
• 24 V output voltage from IO modules (eg. AI-1, IO-3, IO-4)
• 24 V auxiliary supply from a PSU-1, PS-1, PS-xx or PC-1
• 12 V Vr from a PC-1, PS-1 or PS-xx (note: the 12V output supply from an LM-2 or from a PC-1/MC-1
radio board is not switched off)
The IO does the following while the output voltages are switched off:
• Digital Inputs are frozen
• Analog Inputs are frozen
• Analog Outputs are switched off (0 mA loop current)
• Digital Outputs are unaffected and can still be switched on and off
