Control Properties
Control properties enable authorized operators to intervene or to override the
automatic control that is being carried out by controllers. For example, you might
have a point that is to be used to monitor a pump so that operators can see
whether the pump is on or off. In your system the controller connected to the
pump will generally control the pump, but you might also want operators to be
able to switch the pump on or off if necessary.
