SimNet Groups
The SimNet Group function is used to control parameter settings, either globally or in
groups of units. It groups parameter settings such as backlighting, units and alarms.
The function is used on larger vessels where several units are connected via the SimNet
network. By assigning several units to the same group, a parameter update on one unit
will have the same effect on the rest of the group members.
The following example shows a two station installation. All four displays in the cockpit
have their Display and Alarms in a different SimNet Group from the displays on the
bridge. If a back light or alarm is adjusted on a display in the cockpit, it will change on all
displays in the cockpit. It wont change the back light or alarms or displays on the bridge.
