Output module field descriptions
Use the following four fields to specify Output Modules.
Field | Description | |
1 | Single | The Single output module that will be executed when a single (one) decision survives the routing logic and after the decision output logic is executed, i.e. control site works properly. |
Guidelines This module is most commonly used to run output logic that is common for all successfully executed decision. | ||
2 | Multiple | The Multiple output module that will be executed when multiple (two or more) decisions survive the routing logic. |
Guidelines This module is used to fix the problem of having multiple decisions left and can be used to generate an alarm for user intervention. Note: The control site cycle ends after the Multiple Output module is run. (Use the RCO Execution Sequence as a guide.) | ||
3 | None | The None output module that will be executed when there are no (zero) decisions that survive the routing logic. |
Guidelines This module can be used to generate an alarm for user intervention, or to set a done point that will in turn prepare the site to re-trigger the control site. Note: The control site cycle ends after the None Output module is run. (Use the RCO Execution Sequence as a guide.) | ||
4 | Runtime Error | The Runtime Error output module that will be executed when routing logic fails during the decision-making cycle. |
Guidelines This module can be used to generate an alarm to initiate user intervention, or to set a done point that will in turn prepare the site to re-trigger the control site. |
