Week Schedule Broadcasts
The Week Schedule Broadcasts Window (Figure 86 below) located
in the Miscellaneous Settings Screen (Figure 85, page 40) allows
you to broadcast the Schedules of this GPC-XP to other Unit Con-
trollers only on the Local Loop of this GPC-XP or to All Loops of
a multiple loop system. If an option to broadcast is chosen, all (8)
Schedules of this GPC-XP are broadcast. The decision of another
controller to accept a specifi c Schedule is confi gured on the receiv-
ing controller. Schedules cannot be broadcast from one GPC-XP to
another GPC-XP.
AVC Setpoints
In the AVC (Analog Value Comparison) Setpoints Window (Figure
87 below) located in the Miscellaneous Settings Screen (Figure 85,
page 40), you can confi gure the controller to broadcast one of the
AVC values so it can be used by another controller(s), such as an
HVAC unit controller or a second GPC-XP Controller.
Select which value to broadcast and select the channel it is to be
broadcast on. You must use an unused channel between 15 and
31, since channels 1-14 are reserved for other broadcasts. (See the
Global Analog Help Screen, page 47).
You can use two GPC-XP Controllers for this AVC function to
allow the use of up to 16 Analog Inputs in the calculation. In this
case, one GPC-XP must be confi gured to broadcast its value on a
selected channel. The second GPC-XP (which will do the fi nal AVC
calculation) must be confi gured to use that same channel to receive
the broadcast from the fi rst GPC-XP. If that fi nal AVC calculation
of the second GPC-XP is to be broadcast to another controller, then
a different channel must be selected for that broadcast.
Normally the selected AVC value is only broadcast on this control-
ler’s Local Loop. If you want the broadcast to be broadcast to all
loops on the system, check “Broadcast to ALL LOOPS.”
AVC Inputs
In the AVC (Analog Value Comparison) Inputs Window (Figure 88
below) located in the Miscellaneous Settings Screen (Figure 85, page
40), select the Analog Inputs that you wish to include in the AVC
functions. Inputs not selected will perform their normal confi gured
function and will not affect the AVC operations.
