Key Concepts

*
  • ScriptTask
*: Code that executes in response to events or time-based triggers
  • *ScriptClass*: Library of reusable methods for server and client execution
    • : Script unit triggered by events or timers for automated execution
    • ScriptClass: Reusable C#/VB.NET/Python class library used by scripts and displays
    • ScriptExpression
    *ScriptExpression*
    • : Single-line
    code
    • expression for
    simple
    • lightweight event
    responses*References*: External DLLs included for script compilation
    • -driven actions
    • ScriptReference: External .NET assemblies referenced by scripts and displays

    What It Does

    The Scripts Module enables

    the easy creation of

    server-client programming and parallel execution

    . Allowing interoperability of .NET (C#, VB) and Python 3, it it the foundation module to hight performance and flexible application.  It implements:

    through:

    • Event-Driven Automation - Execute code in response to tag changes, alarms, or system events
    • Time-Based Processing - Run tasks on schedules, intervals, or specific times
    • Reusable Libraries - Create method collections for consistent calculations across the solution
    • Expression Evaluation - Perform simple calculations and updates without full task overhead
    • External Integration - Import

    • Tasks: code execute in reaction to events, or time-based.

    • Classes: Library of methods for server and client execution 

    • Expressions: optimized event execution or tags changes, and other trigger conditions. 

  • Executes custom business logic and data processing
  • Provides server-side and client-side code execution
  • Handles event-driven and time-based automation
  • Enables data normalization and enrichment
    • Integrates with
    • third-party .NET assemblies and Python
    libraries
  • Supports multi-threaded parallel execution
    • packages
    • Multi-Threaded Execution - Run tasks in parallel for maximum performance

    Runtime Behavior

    Execution Environment

    The server creates dedicated processes with multi-threading to execute tasks and expressions based on configured triggers. Each process runs in isolated application domains for security and performance.

    Client-Server Architecture

    A service enables client displays and distributed modules to request server-side class execution, providing centralized logic accessible from any client

    Scripts execute primarily server-side for consistency across all clients. Client-side execution available for WPF displays when web compatibility not required.

    Performance Monitoring

    Built-in diagnostics track execution time, CPU usage, and error states for each task, enabling

    performance

    optimization and troubleshooting.
