Lookup label: YLAC
Drawing use: Schematic
Reference families: Manufacturer

Representation: Functional block
Installation focus: switchyards
Input: Local-remote selector
Output: Yard control authority

Carries the selected outdoor operating cabinet's local authority position to the station controller.

## In plain English

### What this block does

Carries the selected outdoor operating cabinet's local authority position to the station controller.

### A simple example

In a switchyard marshalling kiosk, gas compartment, operating mechanism and cabinet-service indications are collected for the station controller. Their equipment tags identify the actual compartment or mechanism being monitored. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Local-remote selector” at the input and “Yard control authority” at the output. Operating interlocks still apply.

### What the drawings help you do

Start at the named input: Local-remote selector. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Yard control authority. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

### Terms

- Input: Local-remote selector
- Output: Yard control authority
- Application reference: An explanation of a named drawing function or circuit relationship; the project documents define the equipment and its connections.

## What it represents

Carries the selected outdoor operating cabinet's local authority position to the station controller. Yard equipment supervision carries the condition and support-system information of primary equipment into station alarms. A monitor's declared alarm, measurement and self-fault output need separate point names.
In a switchyard marshalling kiosk, gas compartment, operating mechanism and cabinet-service indications are collected for the station controller. Their equipment tags identify the actual compartment or mechanism being monitored. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Local-remote selector” at the input and “Yard control authority” at the output. Operating interlocks still apply.
Keep primary-device identity, compartment boundaries and monitor health visible. A monitoring illustration does not establish a leak rate, operating threshold or remaining equipment life. The functional block is an independent explanation of this named application. Equipment-specific ratings, terminal connections and operating conditions must be established in the project documentation.

## How to read it

- Start at the named input: Local-remote selector. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing.
- Follow the named output: Yard control authority. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.
- Operating interlocks still apply.
- Keep primary-device identity, compartment boundaries and monitor health visible. A monitoring illustration does not establish a leak rate, operating threshold or remaining equipment life.

## Information to show or reference

- Label the source and connection reference for local-remote selector.
- Identify the destination and defined state of yard control authority.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: Operating interlocks still apply.

## Important distinction

Operating interlocks still apply. This reference describes the named application; it does not establish a new IEC graphical symbol, an ANSI device-function number or an exact manufacturer connection diagram.

## Facts

- Representation: Functional block
- Installation focus: Switchyards
