The MSL 4000 can use the same CP Level Set that all the control panels use as long as the levels the automation system needs
to control are defined. CP Level Sets are discussed in detail starting on page 5−55.
The MSL 4000 uses a “Serial” type CP Input Set (page 5−58) and a “Serial” type CP Output Set (page 5−76).

Type
The Input, Output, and Level Sets named on this table should include all inputs, outputs, and levels that will be controlled
by the external control device. As a precaution, you may wish to restrict computer control to selected outputs.
The Input (page 5−58) and Output (page 5−76) sets must be created specifically for use by “serial” devices.
The Level Set must be created as a type “CP−3000” (see page 5−55.) For an important note about level numbering and external
computer control, see page 5−57.
