Routing Logic
Routing Logic determines the best decision to make from all configured decisions based
on current factory conditions. Routing Logic is arranged and managed in components
called Routing Logic Modules. Routing Logic is defined for an RCO under the Routing
Logic branch of the RCO configuration tree.
Routing Logic Module (RLM)
A Routing Logic Module is logic configured to achieve a particular routing result such as
color blocking or load balancing across several lines. An RLM may consist of one or
more function blocks or a custom Basic Control Engine (BCE) program.
Simple Route
Part/assembly follows one route.
Splerge Route
Many routes to many routes.
Split Route
One route to many routes.
Synchronous Validation
Synchronous validation requires the control cycle in progress to complete before the site
can be triggered and a new cycle initiated. Two or more control cycles cannot run
simultaneously at a control site with synchronous validation.
Tracker Configuration User Interface
The Tracker Configuration User Interface enables you to configure RCOs for specific
control sites through a graphical user interface. A new RCO will automatically generate a
Triggers, Decisions and Routing Logic applet, which are represented in a tree directory
similar to Windows Explorer directory and file structure. When you click on an applet in
the directory, a corresponding dialog for configuring and viewing RCO data is displayed
in the left pane of the window.
Triggers
A trigger initiates an RCO control cycle. A trigger may be configured as one Point that
on update initiates the control cycle or several Points that on update (in the correct
sequence) initiate the control cycle. Several triggers may be configured at a Tracker
Control Site. Triggers are defined for an RCO under the Triggers branch of the RCO
configuration tree.
