Introduction
A salvo is a sequence of NV9000 commands that can be stored and then executed at any time.
When a panel operator presses a salvo button, the sequence of commands of the salvo executes
rapidly. The duration of a salvo is indeterminate, but typically very short.
Salvos are useful if you want to encapsulate frequently repeated command sequences. They are
essential if you want to be able to change the state of your router control system rapidly and
with some degree of automation.
There are two types of salvos:
• System salvos — System salvos are defined in NV9000-SE Utilities using salvo configuration
pages. They are available to all control panels and all users.
• Local salvos — Local salvos are not defined in NV9000-SE Utilities, but are programmed by a
panel operator and are available only to that specific control panel. The operator programs a
local salvo by recording operations performed at the panel.
NV9000-SE Utilities supports the concept of salvo lists. Some control panels (NV9603A, NV9609)
allow operators to select salvos only from a salvo list. Salvo lists exist to present panel operators
with a subset of the salvos present in the configuration — presumably to make the selection of
salvos easier. Any number of salvo lists can be defined in NV9000-SE Utilities. However, a panel
configuration can use only one of the defined lists (without being reconfigured).
The configuration of local salvos depends on the control panel that supports local salvos. These
are the NV9601, NV9608, and NV9616. Please refer to the panels’ user guide for details.
The rest of this chapter discusses only system salvos.
