Step 3.3. Configure the General Setup Group

Use the following fields to configure the General Setup.

Field Description
1 RLM Point Updated during RCO runtime with the name of the routing logic module (RLM) to be executed for the site.
Guidelines The RLM point is a:
  • Virtual point.
  • String data type.
It is either updated at Runtime with the name of the routing logic module to be executed, or a user can set the point with the name of the RLM. Important: Make sure that Enable Point is checked on the General tab of the Point Properties dialog box.
2 Status Point Updated to indicate the status of the control site.
Status point values are:
0 Enabled control site.
1 Disabled control site.
2 Control site is in suspend mode.
Guidelines The Status point is a:
  • Virtual point.
  • Integer data type.
It is either updated at Runtime with the value of the control site status, or a user can set the point to manage the status of the control site. Ensure that Enable Point is checked on the General tab of the Point Properties dialog box.
3 Danger Point Determine if any decisions without a 'local danger point' are to be rolled back.
Boolean values are:
0 No danger and decision is to be eliminated.
1 In danger and decision is to be rolled back.
Guidelines The Danger point is a:
  • Device or a virtual point.
  • Boolean data type.
It is updated at runtime with the danger status of the control site. If a control site has:
  • Eliminated all decisions and
  • An Always Evaluate flag of Breakable with Danger Point High,
then the RCO system automatically checks the danger point. When the Danger point = 1, the RCO is in a danger state and the system automatically rolls the list back to the previous logic block. Ensure that Enable Point is checked on the General page of the Point Properties dialog box.
4 Initialize Module The initialize script allows a user to call many different function blocks.
This script will only run the first time the site is triggered. For example you can Initialize one of the following:
  • Site attributes with any COM objects or values needed by the site during normal execution.
  • Points
Important: Do not select or make a decision in the logic module. Any decision changes will be ignored.
