SYSTEMS WITH SATURN MASTER CONTROL SWITCHER
Two methods are available for configuring UMDs with Saturn systems:
S “Saturn control” − in most cases this will be the preferred method because 1) it involves fewer tables, 2) it will
provide status for inputs connected to the Saturn Internal Matrix Option, and 3) it is designed to integrate with
the “Monitor Follow” function of Saturn. For more information, refer to the “Saturn UMD” discussion in the
Saturn Installation and Operating Manual.
S “Jupiter control” − the original method for configuring master control UMDs, largely replaced by the “Saturn
control” method—especially because Jupiter control cannot be used to status inputs connected to the Saturn
Internal Matrix Option. However, the Jupiter control method may still be useful in special circumstances, as
described below.
