PU responsibility
The PU responsibility (Process Unit responsibility) tab is used to configure the Process Unit Runs and the Role) assignment of the tracker process unit. The tab contains two parameter matrices, one for Run configuration and one for Role assignment.
 | This parameter tab is based on the parameter matrix concept. Use the Add button to add a new row and the remove button to remove a selected row. The columns of the matrix are described below. |
The Run definitions parameter matrix
The Run definitions matrix is used to define the run definitions of the process unit runs that is to be handled by this tracker process unit. The complete set of run definitions is defined in the database.
Run definition name
The run definition parameter decides what run definitions that shall be controlled from this tracker process unit. The set of run definitions available is governed by the database configuration. Only run definitions that are related one the process unit classes that the process unit is member of are available.
Signal type
This parameter decides how to control the process unit runs. The options are:
- Message. Process unit runs are controlled by messages from the portal.
- Signal. Process unit runs are controlled by control ports on the tracker process unit.
- Both. Signal and message based run control
Autogenerated identifier
If this parameter is checked, the tracker will generate identifiers for the runs automatically. If the parameter is unchecked, a run identifier port will appear.
Autocreate on start
If this parameter is checked, the created state of the run is skipped. This means that the run can be started without a preceding created state. If the parameter is unchecked, the runs must be created explicitly, and a port named CTR Create appears for this purpose.
Port name prefix
This is a read only parameter that shows what port name prefix that will be used on ports belonging to this run definition.
Material data capture
If this parameter is checked, data captured on the process unit run will be copied as captured data on materials that participate in the run.
Display status ports
If this port is checked, a set of process unit run status ports will appear on the TPU.
Set material identifier
If this parameter is checked, the name of the run is copied to the material that participates in the run as a material identifier.
Ident name
This is the ident definition to use when run names are copied to material as material identifiers.
Log run membership
When this parameter is checked, the material that participates in the runs are registered in the RunMembership database table. This is advantageous for reporting purposes. If this information is never used, uncheck the parameter to save database space and database transaction load.
Batch IdentDefinition
With this parameter it is possible to decide that the process unit run shall be connected to a batch. When an ident definition is selected, this means that the batch shall be connected to the run, and that all the material that resides in the tracker process unit when the batch-run connection is active will be given an identifier of the selected ident definition. The value of this identifier will be the same as the batch name. A control port for performing batch-run connections will appear on the tracker process unit when an ident definition is selected.
The Roles parameter matrix
The roles parameter matrix is used to define the role) membership of this tracker process unit.
Role name
This is the name of the actual role. The roles available are governed by the database configuration.
Description
This is a read only description of the actual role.
Unique role
This read only parameter indicates if the actual role should be unique inside the process unit. Unique roles must only be assigned to one of the TPU’s in a process unit. It is the responsibility of the configurator to see to that unique roles are only assigned to one of the tracker process units that constitutes a process unit.
