You can configure the MVD in MOVA as either a ped detector, in which case the demand is normally latched (ie the stage will run even if the detector subsequently goes off) or as a stopline detector, in which case latching is down to the SDCODEs used for the link. The former has to be used if the MVD is used for a (very minor) approach that has no other detectors (since a lane cannot exist in MOVA without at least an X detector). There is a way of setting ped dets as unlatched if necessary. I've not heard of anyone trying to use MVDs as any other MOVA detector (ie X, IN or OUT), please tell all if you have. However, resist the temptation as MOVA will is not likely to operate correctly (could even be quite disastrous!)=20 Mark -- Mark Crabtree Principal Engineer Tel 01344 770959 -----Original Message----- From: Wallis, Ian [mailto:Ian.Wallis@xxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: 15 June 2004 14:06 To: 'tcug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [TCUG] Re: mova *** Before reading or acting on this e-mail, or opening any attachment, please read Derby City Council's disclaimer and confidentiality statement at the end of this e-mail *** The answer is that it depends on your configuration. Generally I would use such a detector by getting the controller to output a bit when the MVD operates, and this controller output then becomes an input to MOVA. This input would then be configured to demand the appropriate stage in MOVA (usually configured as a ped input). I'm not sure what you would do if you wanted the MVD to extend the stage as I've never needed that to happen. Maybe John Spence could shed some light on that. Conversely if you didn't want the MVD to operate in MOVA, only in say a fallback VA mode then that is obviously possible - just don't configure the input in MOVA.
