CIMPLICITYRCO Overview Graphic
RCO is an independent process that monitors control sites on the factory floor. Like a traffic cop directing traffic, RCO directs the flow of product through the manufacturing environment using 'decision-based logic'.
| 1 | A site is triggered by an operator | ||
| 2 | Routing Logic Modules eliminate decisions based on current production conditions | ||
| Decision 1 | Send dryer to Region 2 | Heating unit installation. | |
| Decision 2 | Send dryer to Region 3 | Temperature gauge installation. | |
| Decision 3 | Send dryer to Region 4 | Motor installation. | |
| 3 | Output Module sets point values sending the dryer to Region 4 | ||
| 4 | The Control cycle ends and resets the control site to wait for the next trigger | ||
