Hi,

I have a small simple question regarding compas\_rrc, `SetDigital` method:

```python
    #io test
    print('light_in')
    abb.send_and_wait(rrc.SetDigital('Local_IO_0_DO1', 1), timeout=5)
    abb.send_and_wait(rrc.WaitTime(1))
    print('light_set')

```

**Context:**  
A current IO is set to “1” and the code sends an instruction to set the IO to “1” as well (by mistake or not).

**Question**  
Would this call be ignored or overwritten or I should check if it is already set to 1 ?

It would run SetDO in RAPID on the controller. And you can run that without any (real) impact on performance. So I wouldn’t check current state before setting it, that would definitely be slower.
