Command Priority

A point attribute that determines whether an operator or a particular control program is responsible for controlling the point. A command priority is assigned to each point. There are five priority levels and an hierarchy has been established to define which source has the priority over another to change a point’s value. The five priority levels, ranked in order of highest to lowest priority, are: OPER (Operator), SMOKE, EMER (Emergency), PDL (Peak Demand Limiting), and NONE.
