Point variable
A point within the CX-Supervisor script language that stores a value or
string assigned to that point.
Point
A point is used to hold a value of a predefined type - Boolean, Integer,
Text, etc. The contents of a point may be controlled by an object or I/O
mechanism such as PLC communication. The contents of a point may
control the action or appearance of an object, or be used for output via an
I/O mechanism.
See also Boolean type, Integer type, point variable, Real type and Text
type.
Project
A CX-Supervisor application will consist of one or a number of pages
linked together. The pages may contain passive or active graphics, text or
animations, and may be grouped together logically to form a project. A
project may consist of many pages, or simply a single page. Projects may
be built and tested within the CX-Supervisor development environment,
and run stand-alone under the CX-Supervisor run-time environment.
Only one project at a time may be open for editing within the CX-
Supervisor development environment.
Real type
A type of point where the value of the point can be any number, including
those containing a decimal point.
Recipe
A recipe is a set of pre-defined steps used to perform a particular task. A
CX-Supervisor project may contain zero or more number of recipes.
Recipes are defined in the development environment and executed, or
downloaded, in the run-time environment.
Run-Time Environment
SCADA applications are run using the run-time environment of CX-
Supervisor, following creation of the application in the CX-Supervisor
development environment.
SCADA
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.
Server
A Server is the central processing point of a Network that is accessible to
all computers. Networks affect CX-Supervisor in that further associated
options are available if the computer Network is connected.
Server Application
An application that can be used to view or interact with, whilst currently
within CX-Supervisor.
Statement
Within the CX-Supervisor script language, a statement is a command
understood by the run-time environment. Statements are constructed of
commands and arguments, which when combined, help to formulate a
finished application to be used in the run-time environment.
String
The contents of a Text type point that can only contain literal alphanumeric
characters. A string starts following an opening quotation mark, and ends
before a closing question mark; in the example “
name = "spot"
”, the
point “
name
” holds the string
spot
.
