Configuring a signal controller detector record for signal controller

1.  On the Signal Control menu, click > Signal Controllers.

The Signal Controllers list opens.

2.  Right-click the desired signal controller.

3.  On the shortcut menu, click Edit.

The Signal Controller window opens.

4.  Select the Detector Record tab.

Tip: For external control procedures, more information such as, for example, stage states can be shown in addition to signal groups and detectors. For further details on displaying additional data, refer to the documentation for the respective control program.

5.  Make the desired changes:

List on the left

Type (Category)

Select the Type whose data you want to show in the detector log. Click the button to add the type to the section on the right. The list box contains all types listed in the *.wtt files that are available for an evaluation.

For some types, you must choose a corresponding object number. The object number is listed in the box next to them, SG No., Port No. or CP No.. The heading of the list box depends on the type you have selected, e.g. SG No..

List in the middle

SG No., Det No., CP No.

If there are several numbers available, from both sections on the right, select a type-specific number, e.g. a detector no. or signal group no. To select entries in long lists, use the Page up, Page down, Pos1, End and arrow keys.

Click the corresponding button to add the selected entry to the list on the right and specify which data is shown in the detector log.

Signal group label:

Labeling of the rows in the detector log for signal groups:

  • Number: By default, the number for labeling signal groups is used.
  • Name: In the evaluation windows, signal groups of the selected signal controller are labeled with a name.

Detector label:

Labeling of the rows in the detector log for detectors.

  • Port number: By default, the number for labeling detectors is used.
  • Name: In the evaluation windows, detectors of the selected signal controller are labeled with a name.

6.  Confirm with OK.

7.  Start the simulation (Running a simulation).

For each signal controller selected, you can open an SC Detector Record window. The signal controller number is displayed in the window title bar (Showing a signal controller detector record in a window).

For RBC, the following applies: The configuration is also applied if you convert external supply data from Vissim 2022 from the *.prbc file to a previous version or from a previous version to a *.prbc file. Only types that are present in the old and new versions are taken into account.
