Eagle 2070 Reference Manual Sepac Controller Software
TACTICS Software
O:\TRAFFIC\SIGNALS\Training\Eagle 2070 - SEPAC - TACTICS
Steps to follow for new 2070 controllers out of the box
1. Access Code
From the main menu select “2” -> “3” then press 9999 the press “E”
Change access code from “0000” to “9999”. This eliminates the access code. -“FFF”
2. Baud Rate
We will always use the C22S port on the back of the controller to connect our laptop. The default baud rate on your
laptop is 9600 so the controller must also be set to 9600.
From the main menu select “2” –“8” – “2” (Port 2) – “4” (9600) and then hit -“FFF”
3. Enable ENET
From the main menu select “2” –“B” – “E”. Turn controller off. Wait 5 seconds. Turn controller on. Select “06” and the
controller will restart on its own. Label the CPU module “ENET Enabled”. NOTE – Port 3 is disabled when ENET is enabled.
4. Load Default Timings
From the main menu select “2” –“6” – “E” -“FFF”
5. Setup IP address for the signal controller as defined in manual.
6. Set “AUX” switch (front of controller) to off to use C22S on back of controller as Port 2 for laptop communication. If
switch is moved it will not take effect until controller restart.
7. Create a data key template by saving the settings from one configured controller onto the data key. Once the
data key has been programmed with the IP addresses, baud rates ect., use the key to populate all the remaining
controllers by loading the data from the key to the controller. This will save steps and eliminate errors.
8. Template in TACTICS for baseline intersection. In TACTICS set up a “2070 Template” intersection that will serve
as the default for all of your controllers. This should have any detector mapping / settings, load switch
assignments, etc. that are standard in your cabinets. Makes creating other intersections much easier. When
you create a new intersection it will ask you what you want to use as the “source” – that is what the template is
for.
9. Tags on keys
Place a tag on all data keys so they can be labeled with the intersection name and OSIS number once the key is
programmed.

Eagle IP Addressing Setup Instructions
1. Enable EBM (Eagle Boot Manager) then restart controller. Select option “06” on restart. This
enables the IP module.
Type in 06 from the menu and the controller will restart.
2. Set up IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. DHCP=0, Net=1, IP address = 10.70.10.51, Subnet
Mask =255.255.255.0. The IP address and Subnet will be the same for all controllers at all
locations. The Raven X contains the unique IP address per location and uses port forwarding.
3. Set Type =1, Destination=0.0.0.0, Gateway=10.70.10.1, Netmask=255.255.255.0, Hop Count=16.
4. Set unit intersection address to “001”.
5. Restart controller.
MARC IP Addressing Setup Instructions
1. Enable EBM (Eagle Boot Manager) then restart controller. Select option “06” on restart. This
enables the IP module.
2. Set up IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. IP address = 10.70.10.51, subnet mask
=255.255.255.0, gateway = 10.70.10.1. Set baud rate at max - 38400, 8N1.
3. Restart Controller for IP changes to take effect.
NOTE: When uploading the controller to Marc NX the IP address in “MARC Configuration Data” will
change. Not sure why this happens, just remember to change it back. You will have to restart Marc NX
afterwards.

Programming Prepare to Stop When Flashing Signs (PTSWF)
This must be done by hand into the signal controller and cannot be done through
Marc NX, Actra or Tactics. The 2070 requires a flasher be added in the cabinet or
at the sign with beacons, for it will turn on a static beacon and not flash.
Below are the steps to program PTSWF.
The PTSWF signs should be off during flash state = (0) zero.
The GDLY is zero, PTSWF signs go off when the signal approach turns green.
The YDLY is the field that needs to change on the appropriate phase. Time is
divided by 10, therefore 10 seconds is entered in as 100. This is the amount of
time that the PTSWF signs need to come on prior to the begin of yellow.
Note: If the signals phases are coordinated you must insure the following.
The YELLOW DELAY becomes part of the Phase Minimum Service time.
Min green + Yellow Delay+ Yellow Change + All Red + 1 is less than or = Split Time.
So for phase 2 & 6; 15+10+5+2+1=33 = Minimum Split Time
When the Split time is NOT covered, the coordinator fails BAD P FREE.

March 08 SEPAC Actuated Signal Controller Operator's Manual
Note: In current EPAC operation, the International Sequence is not extended to Overlap Signal drivers or is operational in any transition to and within Preempt.
2.5.13 Advance Warning Signals Advance Warning Signals (AWS) can be used to provide drivers with information on the change in signal indication at approaching intersection.
EPAC provides the ability to drive AWS for each phase through the Pedestrian Clear (Load Switch Yellow) output.
The AWS Sequence for a phase is as follows:
Phase #
VehicleClear Signal
1 2 3 4 5 6
Phs # Red - - - - - R
Phs # Yellow - - - - Y -
Phs # Green G G G G - -
Phs # Don’t Walk - - FD D D D D
Phs # PC (Yel) ON - - ON ON ON
Phs # Walk W W - - - - -
1. The GDLY (0-255 tenth Seconds) values determine this interval length (amount of time the Advance Warning output remains ON after the beginning of the Phase Green). This value may be set to zero.
2. The Phase Walk / Ped Clear values determine this interval length.
3. The Phase Green values determine this interval length.
4. The YDLY (0-255 tenth Seconds) values determine this interval length (amount of time the Advance Warning output turns On before the end of the Phase Green). This value MUST be greater than zero (1-255 tSec) for AWS operation to be enabled.
5. The Phase Yellow values determine this interval length.
6. The Phase Red Clearance values determine this interval length.
Note: EPAC turns on AWS outputs ON during Startup & Fault Flash even though standard cabinet wiring precludes the outputs from being visible to the driver. With a modification to standard cabinet wiring, the AWS could be visible to the driver.
EPAC turns on AWS outputs when a transition to preempt begins and maintains this ON condition for the duration of preempt.
EPAC turns on AWS outputs during Startup Flash, Fault Flash and Preempt even though standard cabinet wiring precludes the outputs from being visible to the driver in Startup and Fault Flash.

• GDLY (Green Delay) value (0-255 tSec) establishes the amount of time the Advance Warning output remains ON after the beginning of the Phase Green. This value may be set to zero.
• YDLY (Yellow Delay) value (0-255 tSec) establishes the amount of time the Advance Warning output turns On before the end of the Phase Green. This value MUST be greater than zero (1-255 tSec) for AWS operation to be enabled. When I’NAT’L SEQ is Zero and YDLY is Zero, The standard NEMA sequence is provided.
The above example programming establishes AWS control on Phases 2-4-6-8 and that the AWS output will appear four seconds before the end of the respective phase Green and stay on until six seconds after the phase Green begins.
Basic Things You Need to Know to Program an Eagle Controller
LOAD DEFAULTS
To clear out the programming that is currently in the controller and start over: 2- Utilities 6- Load Default The middle of the screen should say: Current Mode: Full Function EPAC… You will want to press E to load defaults for Full Function EPAC (current mode) This will not clear the controller completely of data, there will be default data in there. Is it an ISOLATED intersection? 1. First you need to let the controller know which phases will be used and which phases are not going to be used. Go to: 3- Phase Data 4- Initialize & N.A. Response The first row -Initial- tells the controller how to initialize each of the phases. This is how the phases will come up after Start Up Flash. For any phase that is not going to be used, put a (0). Then pick which phases you want to be on when it comes out of flash. Generally phases 2 and 6 should come up in green (4) or yellow (3). For the rest of the phases put a (1). A (1)-inactive means that these phases are used but the controller doesn't go straight to them out of Start Up Flash. 2. Next you can go ahead and program in Phase Times. To do this go to: 3- Phase Data 1- Vehicle Times Program in the minimum green time for each phase. Pass/10 is the passage or gap time. If you are programming this in the controller, it doesn't show the decimal point so it will actually look like 10 * the value that you want. In the MARC computer software, it does show the decimal point. This is also true for the Yel/10 (yellow) and Red/10 (red clearance) values. The controller will always run Max #1 times unless you tell it to run Max #2 times by a Time-of-Day program.
3. Pedestrians -- Go to: 3- Phase Data 3- Pedestrian Times If you don't have pedestrian signals: Zero out this entire screen - loading defaults will put default numbers in this screen. If you do have pedestrian signals: Put in appropriate Walk and Ped Clear Times for the ped phases that are active 4. While you're in Phase Data, you may want to put your main street phases on Soft Recall. To do this go to: 3- Phase Data 5- V & P Recalls The first row is Vehicle Recall. Put a (2) under any phase you want on Min Recall, a (3) for Max Recall, and a (4) for Soft Recall. Don't mistake (1)-1 call for Min Recall. 1 call will only put in 1 call, ever; not 1 call per cycle. 5. Next, you need to check your Ring Structure. For 90% of applications, its probably okay with the default but if you do need to change it, here's how: First draw it out on paper, so it's easier to tell rings and compatibility. A standard 8-phase quad would look like this: Ring 1 - 1 2 3 4 Ring 2 - 5 6 7 8 where phases 1, 2, 3, and 4 are in Ring 1 and phases 5, 6, 7, and 8 are in Ring 2. The 'Next Phase' is the phase to the right of that phase in the same ring . For phase 1, the 'Next Phase' is phase 2. For phase 4, the 'Next Phase' is phase 1. A barrier is drawn between phase 2 and 3 and phase 6 and 7 to separate the main street from the cross street. The barrier defines which phases are compatible. In this diagram, a phase is compatible with any phase on the same side of the barrier in a different ring. For example, phase 1 is compatible with phases 5 and 6. Ring 1 - 1 2 3 4 Ring 2 - 5 6 7 8 Those are the three things that you need to know to program the ring structure. - Which ring it is in - Which phase is 'Next' - Which phases are compatible (concurrent) This is done in: 4- Unit Data 5- Ring Structure
The things it will ask you for are: Phase: Ring: Nxt Phase: Concurrent Phases: If you're programming in the controller front panel, you'll also see Vehicle Channels and Ped Channels. These have to do with what load switch you want the phase to come out of. You shouldn't have to change these. An 8-phase quad ring structure looks like this: Ring 1 - 1 2 3 4 Ring 2 - 5 6 7 8 That's the basics of what you need to know to run an isolated intersection.
Is it a COORDINATED Intersection?
Follow Steps 1 - 5 for an isolated intersection. 6. The next thing you need to do is setup the coordination parameters for the intersection. Go to: 5- Coord Data 1- Setup Coord Some suggested parameter settings are described below: Operation: (1) Set this to 'Auto' so it is able to run the coord plans Mode: (0) This is the type of coord mode, these are described in another chapter Max: (0) Set this to 'Inhibit Max' so the Max times that you programmed in Phase Data don't override the split times that you set in coord data Correction:(2) How the controller gets back in step; SWY is shortway, its as good as any of the correction modes Offset: (0) The offset is timed from the beginning of coord phase green Force off: (0 or 1) PLN is Plan Force Off (floating pt); CYCLE is Cycle Force Off (fixed pt). Plan Force Off only allows the phases to run for the amount of time given in their split, even if they begin early. Cycle Force Off allows a phase to extend to the point in the background cycle that it was supposed to terminate; so if the phase started early it could extend longer than its entered split time. 7. Next, you can enter the split times for each of the coord plans. To do this go to: 5- Coord Data 3- Dial/Split Data The first plan should be Dial 1 / Split 1. Enter your cycle length first. If you're programming in the controller, then type (2) under 'Level'. In the MARC software, everything is on the same screen. In the first row, type in the split times for each phase. The split times MUST be at least the min green + yellow + red clear + 1 sec. Don't forget about the 1 second or it won't run! In the second row, designate which phases are the coord phases by putting a (1) under those phases (probably phase 2 and 6). To program the offset time in the controller, go back and type (1) under 'Level'. Offset time is in the bottom half of the screen in the MARC software. This is also the place that you tell the controller which Alternate Sequence (Phase Reversal) to run with this pattern. Remember where this is and we'll discuss Alternate Sequence later. 8. Now that you programmed what split times for the controller to run, you need to tell it when to run them. You set can up the Time-of-Day plan under:
6- Time Base Data 3- Traffic Events In the controller, the screen that comes up will look something like this: Display / Scan beginning at: Day: 2 HH:MM: 10:26 This is just letting you choose the first timing plan that you'll look at in the next screen. You can just hit 'E' to continue. In the controller, where the cursor is, type (1) to add a plan. If the program is going to run on multiple days of the week, you only need to program it for one of those days. In the next step, we'll equate days so the controller knows which multiple days the program is good for. The first column is DD (Day of Week). (01) is Sunday, (02) is Monday, etc… The next two columns are the start time of the program. HH is the hour in military time and MM is the minute. If you only have one program for that intersection and it is going to run constantly, enter 01 for DD, 00 for HH, and 01 for MM. This tells your program to begin at 12:01 am on Sunday, but once we equate all the days it will run all the time. The next three columns are DL / SP / OF (Dial / Split / Offset). This corresponds to which program you want to run at this time. For example, the first timing plan you entered was probably 1 / 1 / 1. 9. The next thing that you should set up is what days will the same program run on. Do this by: 6- Time Base Data 6- Equate / Transfer If you're programming in the controller, under Code, type (0) to equate days. If the same programs run every day of the week and you programmed them in the last step under day 01, you need to equate days 2-7 (Monday - Saturday) to day 1 (Sunday). It will look like this: From - 1 To - 2 3 4 5 6 7 If one set of programs runs only on weekdays and another set on the weekend, it would look like this: From - 1 To - 7 From - 2 To - 3 4 5 6 (This assumes that the weekend plans were programmed under day 1 and the weekday plans were programmed under day 2) That's the basics of what you need to know to program a coordinated intersection.
You can tell if your coord plan is good if by going to:
1- Active Status 1- Ring Timers 1- R1 + R2 Timers
If the cycle timer in the bottom right hand corner is counting down, the coord plan is running. If the coordinator is not running:
9-REPORTS 4-ALARMS If the coordination plan has an error, there will be a "NO COORD - BAD P" logged in the alarms. The most common problems are: Min time + amber + all red times must be one second less than the split time. The rings are not balanced (Phase 1 time + Phase 2 time must equal Phase 5 time + Phase 6 time) You must have a coordinated phase in each ring (phases 1 or 2 and phases 5 or 6)
Overlaps
Overlaps are used to control a movement that can be green when 1 or more 'parent' phases are green. Examples of overlaps are right turn arrows at an intersection or interior thru movements at a diamond interchange. Overlaps are programmed at: 4- Unit Data 3- Overlap Standard The information that you need to program for each overlap is what the 'parent' phases are. To program Overlap A to come on with phases 5 and 6 in the controller it would look like this: EPAC OVERLAP - A OVL PHASES:000011000 0000000 PHASES/CHN: 123456789 0123456… Arrow down to get to Overlaps B through D. If you're wondering what OVL CHN(S) is, that's to program which load switch the overlap will output from. Overlaps A - D have defaults but Overlaps E - P do not. If you need to use Overlaps E - P, you will have to map their outputs to one of the available load switches. You should probably call the TRF Signal Shop (Allison Meadors - 512-416-3244) or an Eagle Signal representative to get help with this. In the MARC software, all the overlaps are on one screen. Just put a '1' under the 'parent' phases for each overlap that you define. Once again, remember if you use Overlaps E - P, you will have to map their outputs through one of the available load switches, and will probably need more detailed help than is described in this document.
Max # 2
For an isolated intersection, you can change the max times by time-of-day. To set this up in the controller, go to: 6 - Time Base Data 9 - Phs Func Mapping Max #2 for each of the phases must first be mapped to a 'phase function'. There are 16 available 'phase functions' - numbered 1 through 16 across the top. Each of the Max #2's can be mapped to a separate phase function or they can all be mapped to the same phase function. To map a Max #2 to a phase function, put a '1' under that phase function. More than one item can be mapped to one phase function. To map Max #2 for phases 1 - 8 to phase function 1, put a '1' under 'phase function 1' for 'Phs-01 Max #2' through 'Phs-08 Max #2'. Once you have mapped each of the Max #2's to a phase function, the next thing you need to do is call the phase function(s) by time-of-day. To do this, follow steps 8 and 9 under 'Coordination', except instead of putting in a Dial / Split / Offset pattern for the time, put a '1' under the phase functions that you want to turn on at that time. This would turn on the Max #2's for which ever phases were mapped to Phase Functions 1, 2, and 3. If you turn Max #2's on, you're probably going to want to turn them off. To do this, just put the time in the controller and take the 1's out from under phase function. At that time, Max #1 times would again be in effect until the next time that the appropriate Phase Functions were turned on. Phase Functions can be used for more than just Max #2. You'll notice that farther down in the 'Phase Function Mapping' screen is Phase Omit, Ped Omit, Max Recall, Min Recall, and Ped Recall. All of these can be mapped and turned on by time-of-day the same way that was described for Max #2.
Dynamic Max Time
If Dynamic Max is programmed, the controller will raise the max time for a phase by a user-specified amount, if that phase maxes out for two consecutive cycles. After that phase gaps out for two consecutive cycles, the controller will lower it until it reaches the normal max time. To setup Dynamic Max, go to: 6 - Time Base Data 0 - Spc Func Mapping Dynamic Max is considered to be a 'Special Function'. Arrow down through the special functions until you get to 'Dyna Mx3 = Veh 33-48 Time'. Map this to a special function by putting a '1' under that column. It would look like this: S-Function Name…12345678 Dyna Mx3 = Veh 33-48 Time…10000000 Once you have the Dynamic Max mapped to a Special Function, go to: 3 - Phase Data 8 - Spec. Detector If you're programming in the controller, the top of the screen should say 'EPAC Detector Timing Data', if it says 'EPAC Detector Control Data', press 'A', that should get it into the 'Timing Data' screen. You'll notice that the Special Function that you mapped was 'Dyna Mx3 = Veh 33-48 Time'. This means that the Dynamic Max parameters will be programmed under vehicle detectors 33-48. These correspond to the vehicle detectors in the 'Timing Data' screen. Dynamic Max parameters for phases 1-8 are under 'veh 33-40'; Dynamic Max parameters for phases 9-16 are under 'veh 41-48'. Go to the appropriate set of vehicle detectors. DM3STEP (dynamic step) is the increment that the controller will increase the max time by, and DMX3 (dynamic max) is the limit that the controller will increase the max time to. Note that the dynamic step value is in tenths of seconds (the decimal point doesn't show up in the controller). Dynamic Max needs to be programmed to come on by time-of-day similar to Max #2 except that Dynamic Max is programmed under:
6 - Time Base Data 4- Aux Events
You can leave Dynamic Max running continuously if you program it to come on but don't program it to go off. You'll notice in the 'Special Function Mapping' screen that there are other special functions available. These are defined and turned on the same way that was described for dynamic max. Other special functions that are available are: Special Functions 1 - 8 --if you need a special function output (to turn a sign on or something) by
time-of-day. Passage 3 + Max 3 these are additional passage and max times that can be turned on by time-of-day.
Passage 4 + Max 4 and Passage 5 + Max 5 are also available. Dynamic Max 3 dynamic max times that increase the max time by a user-specified amount up to a
max limit. Dynamic Max 4 and Dynamic Max 5 are also available. Note that Passage 3 + Max 3 and Dynamic Max 3 use the same vehicle detectors as input for the parameters. You can use only one of these. If you use Passage 3 + Max 3, and you want to use a dynamic max, use Dynamic Max 4 or 5. The same is true that Passage 4 + Max 4 and Dynamic Max 4 use the same parameter inputs so you can't use both of these. You only get one 3, one 4, and one 5 for any combination of extra maxes or dynamic maxes.
Railroad Preemption
7- Preempt Data 1- All Preempts Min Green / Walk (Min Green Before Preempt) - the amount of time that a non-track phase must have been green before the track phase in preemption can be serviced. This interval applies to the any active non-track phases of the controller when a preemption call is received. This interval overrides the normal Min time of the phase. Phases that are green at the time of preemption and are to be green during the track clearance interval remain green for the duration of the min green time and the track clearance green time. It is recommended that 4 seconds be used for this interval. At 4 seconds, the first driver in the queue has had time to recognize and react to the green signal indication and move into the intersection. The second vehicle in the queue, though, should not have entered the intersection and can stop in time. If additional time is needed for track clearance, the min green before preempt can be reduced to between 0 seconds and 3 seconds, if necessary. Even though it may violate driver expectancy for the light to turn green and then less than 4 seconds later turn yellow, the probability that the preempt signal would arrive within the first second of the phase is very small. For example, with a 60 second cycle length, the probability that the preempt call would arrive within the first second of the phase is 1 in 60. Due to the small probability of the occurrence, this is one preemption parameter that can be reduced if only a few seconds are needed in order to meet the time given by the railroad before the train arrives. Priority Status - leave all these at "1" - that just means that Preempt 1 has priority over Preempt 2, etc… If they are set to "0" they will have equal priority. 7- Preempt Data 2 - Preempt 1 3 - Miscellaneous In the Computer Software - this is in L - Preempt One The values for Test, Non-locking, Link PE#, Delay, Extend, Duration, Max Call, and Lock Out should probably be "0" except for unusual circumstances. If you think you will need to put in values for any of these parameters, the definitions are on page 4-11 of the Eagle Manual. Exit - Put a "1" under which phase(s) you want the preempt routine to exit into once it is done. Calls - Put a "1" under which phase(s) you want a pedestrian call placed when the preempt routine is done. Any calls that were present when it went into preempt will be there when it comes out of preempt.
7- Preempt Data 2 - Preempt 1 2- Interval Times
Selective Ped Clear - If a pedestrian phase is in "Walk" or "Flashing Don't Walk" when a preempt call is received - this is the amount of time that will the pedestrian clearance (Flashing Don't Walk) will receive before transitioning to Track Green. If no ped phases are active when the preempt call is received, this time will not be used. Selective Yellow Clear - If a non-track phase is green when the preempt call is received, this is the amount of yellow time that the non-track phase will receive before transitioning to track green. THIS TIME SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THE YELLOW TIME SET DURING NORMAL OPERATION! Selective Red Clear - If a non-track phase is green when the preempt call is received, this is the amount of red clearance time that the non-track phase will receive before transitioning to track green. THIS TIME SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THE RED CLEARANCE TIME SET DURING NORMAL OPERATION! Track Green - This is the amount of green time given to the phase whose approach crosses the track. To determine the appropriate amount of time for this interval, refer to the "How to Do Railroad Preemption Manual" or go out to the intersection and measure how much time it takes a vehicle that is queued on the tracks to get to the intersection after onset of green.
Track Yellow Clear - This is the yellow time after the track green. It should be set the same as the normal yellow time for that phase. Track Red Clear - This is the red clearance time after the track yellow clear. It should be set the same as the normal red clearance time for that phase. Dwell Green - This is not used for railroad preemption so you can set it to "0". It is used if the preemption is for a predetermined amount of time, such as in some emergency vehicle preempt situations. Return Ped Clear - If a pedestrian phase is active during the preemption, this is "Flashing Don't Walk" time given to the ped phase when the preempt call is dropped before transitioning to normal operation. If a pedestrian phase is not active when the preempt call is dropped, this time will not be used. Return Yellow Clear - This is the yellow clearance time for the phase that is green when the preempt call is dropped. This phase will clear before returning to normal operation. Return Red Clear - This is the red clearance time for the phase that is green when the preempt call is dropped. This phase will clear before returning to normal operation. 7- Preempt Data 2- Preempt 1 3- Vehicle Status
Page Down in the Computer Software in the Preempt Data - Preempt 1 Menu Track Green (Track Status in the software) - Put a "1" under your track phases (approach that crosses the track). Remember to put a "1" under both the thru phase and left turn phase if there is one. The rest of the values on this row should be "0". Dwell Status - If you are going to flash the signals during preemption and not run a limited cycle, put a "2" under which phases you are going to flash red and a "3" under which phases you are going to flash yellow. If you are going to run a limited sequence and not flash the signals, you can leave this row as "0". Cycle - If you are flashing the signals during preemption, leave this rows as "0". If you are going to run a limited sequence, you will put a "1", "2", or "3" under which phases will be allowed to run while the preempt call is active. Put a "1" under which phases will be fully actuated, a "2" under which phases will have a min recall, and a "3" under which phases will have a max recall. 7- Preempt Data 2- Preempt 1 4- Pedestrian Status This screen is similar to the vehicle status, but applies only to pedestrian phases. Track Green (Track Status) - You probably will not want to run any pedestrian movements during the track green, so these should all be "0". Dwell Status - If you are flashing the signal heads during preemption, you should probably not run a pedestrian phase so these values should also be set to "0". Cycle - If you are running a limited sequence and want a pedestrian phase to run also, you can put a "1" (actuated) or "2" (recall) under that pedestrian phase number. If you do not any ped phases to cycle while the preempt call is active, leave these as all "0". 7- Preempt Data 2- Preempt 1 5- Pedestrian Status This screen is also similar to the vehicle status, but applies only to overlaps. Overlaps do not automatically run because their parent phases are running during preemption. Any overlaps that need to be used must be programmed to be active in this screen. Track Green (Track Status) - If your track phase is driven by an overlap, it will have to be programmed in this row in order for it to be green. Programming the parent phase in the previous section will not drive the signal head if it is tied to an overlap. Put a "1" under the track overlap(s) that need to be green during track clearance.
Dwell Status - If you are flashing the signal heads during preemption and there are any overlaps that you also want to flash, put a "2" under the overlaps that are to flash yellow and a "3" under the overlaps that are to flash red. Cycle - If you are not flashing the signal heads, but running a limited sequence, put a "1" under the overlaps that you want to be included in the limited sequence.
TS2 DETECTOR SETUP 3 - Phase Data 8 - Special Detectors Make sure the top of the screen say EPAC DETECTOR CONTROL DATA If it doesn't, press A-Controls to get to that screen. Then: 1 - Vehicle 1-8
Any detector channel can be assigned to any phase by putting the correct phase number under the detector number across the top. Default is that detectors 1 - 8 call phases 1 - 8. If they are not used they will put in a constant call. To keep this from happening, reassign the unused channels to
phase 0 (zero).
Under the Assigned Phase row is the Operation Mode row. For Normal Vehicle detector operation - put a zero (0) under the vehicle detector number (1 - Ped) to assign Ped detectors in 9-Ped 1-8 (2 - One) acts like min recall. It puts in a call until a real vehicle call is received. (3 - SBA) Stop Bar A - basically times how long the detector is active once the phase turns green. The detector will be active until the EXTEND timer times out or a gap occurs, then the detector shuts off for the rest of the green. (4 - SBA) Stop Bar B - the EXTEND time acts as a gap time. When a gap longer than the programmed EXTEND time occurs, the detector shuts off for the rest of the green. To get to the EXTEND and DELAY timing screen: Press A: from the EPAC DETECTOR CONTROL DATA screen. Make sure the top of the screen now says: EPAC DETECTOR TIMING DATA. Press (1) for detectors 1-8. Note that the EXTEND value is in tenths of seconds so for 1 second put 10.
MANUALLY PLACING DETECTOR CALLS TS 2 cabinets do not have detector switches to manually put in calls. Instead calls can be placed through the active status screen of the timer. 1- Active Status 1- Ring Timers 1- R1 + R2 Timers
MAX RECALL- From the active status screen, press "A" and the phase number to place a constant call on the phase. A lower case "c" will be displayed in the vehicle call row. SINGLE CALL - From the active status screen, press "A" and the phase number twice to place a single call. A capital "C" will be displayed in the vehicle call row. TS2 BIU SETUP
4 - Unit Data 7 - Port 1 Data For addresses: 0, 1, 8, 16, and 18 : PRES=1 (don't worry about the M40 column) 0 and 1 turn on the two terminal BIU's (for the load bay) 8 turns on the BIU for the detector card rack (for video, turn on 8 & 9- if both loops and video in the same cabinet, turn on 8, 9, 10, and 11) 16 turns on the MMU 18 turns on the controller Visually check the LED's on the front of each BIU, the green power LED should be on and the red transmit LED should be flashing constantly: If any BIU is not communicating:
1.Check the Alarms to confirm BIU failure. The frame fault messages will tell which BIU is not working. (More information on frame faults can be found on page 7-3 and 7-4 of the manual.)
8 - System Data 4 - Local Alarms 2 - Alarm Report Frame 128, 129, or 131 Fault = MMU (Address 16) - intersection flash Frame 138 Fault = T & F BIU #1 (Address 0) - intersection flash Frame 139 Fault = T & F BIU #2 (Address 1) - intersection flash Frame 148 Fault = Detector BIU #1 (Address 8) - continuous call placed on all enabled detectors Frame 149 Fault = Detector BIU #2 (Address 9) - continuous call placed on all enabled detectors Frame 150 Fault = Detector BIU #3 (Address 10) - continuous call placed on all enabled detectors Frame 151 Fault = Detector BIU #4 (Address 11) - continuous call placed on all enabled detectors 2.Check the cable connections, if okay, replace BIU (detectors and T&F BIUs).
3.If the active status display says "DIAGNOSTIC FLASH", correct the BIU communications problem and the system will restart when you reset the MMU.
4.If the active status display says "DIAGNOSTIC FLASH - NO EXIT", this means that 3 BIU failures have occurred within one hour. Disconnect the power cable on the controller and then reconnect it. This is the only way to clear this alarm.
5.If the BIU problem is corrected but the controller still is in "DIAGNOSTIC FLASH - NO EXIT", there are 2 choices. One, power down the breaker to remove power from the controller and BIUs. Or, zero out the BIUs in Unit Data - Port 1 Data to turn them off, then repeat TS 2 BIU setup (top of page).
MAPPING THE OUTPUTS - PROGRAMMING THE LOAD BAY ASSIGNMENTS TS 2 has provided the ability for the user to control which phases and overlaps come out of which loadswitch channel. This is important because with 16 available phases and 16 overlaps, you couldn't have a loadbay large enough to accommodate all of them. The ability to map overlaps or extra phases to unused loadswitches is handy. This is easier done in a TS 2 serial cabinet than a TS 1 cabinet but it is still possible. In a TS 2 cabinet, to remap phases, Go to: 4 - Unit Data 5 - Ring Structure Arrow down to the phase that you want to remap the output. Put a one (1) under the VEH CHANNEL (loadswitch) that you want that phase to come out of. And take the 1 out of whatever channel the phase was programmed for. In a TS 2 cabinet, to remap overlaps, Go to: 4 - Unit Data 3 - Overlap Standard Arrow down to the Overlap that you want to remap the output. Put a one (1) under the OVL CHANNEL (loadswitch) that you want that overlap to come out of. And take the 1 out of whatever channel the overlap was programmed for. If the overlap is coming out of a phase loadswitch, go back to the ring structure and make sure there is a Zero in that Veh Channel now. In a TS 1 cabinet, there is one more step. Go to: 4 - Unit Data 9 - Signal Driver Outputs The controller will have mapped the phases and/or overlaps to the right channel but now you have to map the channel to the right TS 1 pin. To do this go to the far right hand column under SET. Put in the right number so that the right column description matches the left column description. You only have to do this if there is a TS 1 pin for that output. You wouldn't have to do this if you are remapping phases 9 - 16 or overlaps E - P, only if you are remapping phases 1 - 8 or overlaps A - D.
