VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual

Device Name

Device Type

These columns repeat the descriptions of all machines (as entered on

the Machines table, page 5−140) and machine control panels (as entered on the MPK Devices table, page
5−109). Also repeated here are special protocol devices from the Protocol Dependent table (page 5−143), and
MI/MC 3040 devices from the MPK table.

Mnemonic

Use of this column varies according to the device type.

For machines, this entry will appear on the panel controlling the machine:

S For a serial control machine, the Mnemonic is always the same as the Device Name.

S For a parallel control machine connected to an MI 3040, the Mnemonic column is used to create a

mnemonic for the machine.

For control panels and MC 3040 external machine control panel applications, the Mnemonic column is used
only as a comment field.

Delegation

Group

This column is used to select a delegation group for assignment to a control panel. This allows a

machine operator to use the optional MC 3020 Delegation Panel to permit control of a particular machine by a
particular control panel. This function is explained in detail starting with Group Delegation on page 5−159.

The source of the Group names is the Delegation Group table (page 5−159).

Associated

Name

In/Out

These entries are required for the machine assignment system to function, whereby

machine control “follows” the routing switcher.

For machines, the entry in the In/Out column is always “In.” The Associated Name will be selected from a
drop−down list that includes all router inputs (source = Switcher Input table, page 5−44). For a discussion of
Associated Name entries, please see Assigning Machines to Control Panels starting on page 5−149.

For a CP 3000E, CP 3800, or CP 3810, the entry in the In/Out column is “Out.” The Associated Name col-
umn is left blank.

For a complete description of MC 3000 and MC 3010 entries, please see Assigning Machines to Control
Panels
starting on page 5−149.
