Command Set

A Command Set is a group of telecommands that can be sent to a certain Device at the operator’s request.

They allow performing an action on the device, such as altering the value of a memory address or analog output, or changing the state of digital outputs.

These Sets are composed of Simple Commands and/or Sequential Complex Commands:

  • Simple Commands allow changing the device’s digital outputs (setting an ON/OFF on a given coil)
  • Sequential Complex Commands allow writing the value of one or more output registers, altering certain bits or writing fixed values or values taken from other points or registers
  • It is possible to set up a sequence of Complex Commands, to be executed from a single operator order

Sets can be assigned to one or more points, so that clicking on the associated graphical symbol allows their execution.

They also use a Text Set to name each of the telecommands that make it up; for example, a Text Set containing START and STOP can be used and each text assigned to a certain Simple or Complex Command.
