Parse Message Point To RCO Variables

About this task

Description

Parse Message Point To RCO Variables:

  • Has a token list format, which is comma delimited and colon divided.

Example

"<name>:<value>,<name>:<value>"

  • Parses the tokenized contents of a message point.
  • Saves the specified tokens to RCO Variables.

Example

Procedure

  1. You have a message point containing 3 tokens:

    "ID:4001,DESC:Body Carrier,COLOR:Blue"

  2. Parse Message Point To RCO Variables lets you specify 3 RCO variables:

    RCO Variable 1, 2, and 3.

  3. The RCO variable values can be set to the three token values:

    "4001", "Body Carrier", and "Blue".

    Parameters

    This function block has the following parameters:

    Parameter Description
    Message Source Type Type of point name that will be used. Options are:
    RCO Id + Suffix Message point will consist of an RCO site with a specified suffix. A Message Point Suffix must be specified if this option is chosen. Example Two sites have the same suffix; RCO1_Message1 RCO2_Message1 This block will work in both sites with exactly the same configuration.
    Select Point Hard codes a single point as the message source. A Message Point Id must be specified if this option is chosen.
    Message Point Suffix Message point ID suffix. Must be specified if RCO Id + Suffix is selected as the Message Source Type. Example For a point RCO1_Message1 The suffix is Message1.
    Message Point Id Point ID to use as message source. Must be specified if Select Point is selected as the Message Source Type.
    Token 1 Id ID of the first token to be written to the RCO variable.
    Token 1 Variable Variable to set with the value of the first token.
    Token 2 Id ID of the second token to be written to the RCO variable.
    Token 2 Variable Variable to set with the value of the second token.
    Token 3 Id ID of the third token to be written to the RCO variable.
    Token 3 Variable Variable to set with the value of the third token.
    Token 4 Id ID of the fourth token to be written to the RCO variable.
    Token 4 Variable Variable to set with the value of the fourth token.
    Token 5 Id ID of the fifth token to be written to the RCO variable.
    Token 5 Variable Variable to set with the value of the fifth token.
    Token 6 Id ID of the sixth token to be written to the RCO variable
    Token 6 Variable Variable to set with the value of the sixth token.
