PRT_ROUTE

The PRT Route ( prt_route.idt ) configuration file is used to define all of the routes that exist between regions. This enables automatic transition of items based on changes in CIMPLICITY Point values.

REQUIRED FILE

The fields are:

No.	Field Name	Description		Data Type	Entry Example
0	orig_region_id	Name of the source region (where the item will exit).		16 characters	NULL
1	dest_region_id	Name of the destination region (where the item will enter).		16 characters	SRC1
2	item_type_id	Unique name for the item type that will travel between the two regions. Use the wild card character (*) to validate all item types through this route.		16 characters	NULL
3	transition_ptid	Point ID that represents the transition between the two regions.		55 characters	X_S1
4	set_ptid	Point ID that will display when the item is transitioned. Must be of class, Text and should be no motre than 36 characters. Data is displayed as follows: 16 characters – Item Type ID. 20 characters – Item ID when item type is serialized; otherwise, associated or parent item ID.		55 characters	T_S1
5	translation_id	Depending on Field 6 ( translation_ type_code ), configure as follows: translation_type_code = 2: translation to use to interpret this transition indicator. translation_type_code = 3, 4 or 5: Up to 3 characters that will be attached as a prefix to the Point value prior to processing. This allows items with the same ID to be identified in different parts of the factory. translation_type_code = 1, 6 or 7: NOT USED.		16 characters	NULL
6	translation_type_code	Unique code to represent the tracking indicator type as follows:		One byte	3
		1	Limit switch
		2	Type detector (integer Point)
		3	Automatic Item ID displaying Item ID (Text Point)
		4	Automatic Item ID displaying Reference ID (Text Point)
		5	Associated Reference ID to Item (Text Point)
		6	Associated Item Type to Item (Integer Point)
		7	Positive Edge Trigger (transition occurs when value changes from zero to nonzero)
		8	Negative Edge Trigger (transition occurs when value changes from nonzero to zero)
7	Process_first_ ptchange	FALSE or undefined transition point ignores the first point change of a route. TRUE processes the first point change as a transition point.		0=FALSE 1=TRUE	0
