Tracker and Application Processes
The Tracker module performs using a series of configurable resident processes:Process | Description |
---|---|
prtc.exe | Production Tracking Data Collector |
prts.exe | Production Tracking Data Server |
prtv.exe | Production Tracking Configuration Validation Program |
Additional resident processes can be configured for Routing and Control Objects (RCO). Production Tracking accepts:
- Unsolicited messages from application processes that request Item and Tracking Region data.
- Messages that request Item tracking data and Tracking Region data modifications.
- Can send messages to Production Tracking to initiate production start for serialized and non-serialized Items.
- Will communicate with Production Tracking through a limited set of Production Tracking application functions used to send the requests.

PRT : And Point Management
Production Tracking interfaces with CIMPLICITY software's Point Management module in order to receive CIMPLICITY software point data values.
Production Tracking is capable of receiving point data from multiple Point Management processes.
The interface with Point Management also
- Transfers information on Items entering and exiting Tracking Regions,
- Provides Point Management with information on Tracking Region status,
- The quantity of Items in a Tracking Region and
- The quantity of Items by type in a Tracking Region.
Configuration data specifies the information Production Tracking will provide to Point Management.
PRT: And Alarm Management
Production Tracking interfaces with Alarm Management in order to notify Alarm Management of alarm conditions.
Production Tracking can be configured to generate alarms when exception conditions are encountered as Items are tracked.
Users are notified of alarms based on their assigned role and their view of configured Resources.
PRT: And Users
Production Tracking interfaces with users through a graphic user interface.
Graphic display of Region tracking data and Item attribute data is provided through CimEdit/CimView.
The User Interface provides users with a view of all regions and the data contained within those regions.
CimView Screens
Operator user interaction occurs in customized CIMPLICITY CimView screens.
