ScriptWorX™32 is a powerful application that allows the creation and management of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) 6.0 scripts. It coordinates the successful execution of user defined VBA scripts, allowing you to create custom solutions for those special niche project needs.

Script Wizzard

ScriptWorX™32 also comes with a powerful Script Wizard function that aids in the code creation of commonly used scripts. It helps in creating a direct connection, for example, to OPC Servers, permitting your VBA code to read and write directly to data points. The Script Wizard can also automatically generate code to interface with AlarmWorX™32, GraphWorX™32 and also TrendWorX™32 components.

The ScriptWorx™32 Wizard

ScriptWorX™32 has a unique multi-tasking, multi-processor environment that allows multiple scripts to run concurrently. It takes maximum advantage of VBA 6.0 multi-tasking and multi-threading capabilities. Simultaneously perform calculations, manage databases, and execute any operation available in the VBA language to access reports or perform recipe operations.

As with all ICONICS products built on the OPC-To-The-Core™ technology, ScriptWorX™32 is an OPC® Data Access client application. That means it can easily plug-n-play not only with ICONICS servers and components, but other 3rd-Party hardware interface drivers and software as well.

OPC®-triggered Scripts

OPC® Data Access points can serve as an "Event Trigger" for scripts. For example, have a script run whenever a digital point turns on or off. You can even build complex expressions combining multiple OPC® data points together to create versatile script triggers. Another section permits configuration of "Alarm Scripts" which get triggered by OPC® Alarm & Events. Combined with alarm filters, this powerful tool solves even the toughest project demands.

Time-Based Scripts

Periodic (time-based) scripts are also at your disposal, all scheduled to simultaneously execute. This can be as simple as "run a script every hour", to "run this script on the 2nd Tuesday of every other month". There are also "Global Scripts" which can be triggered manually or via OLE Automation. A built in Script Monitor function provides tuning and analysis of script execution.

Scripting With VBA

Because the scripting is with Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications 6.0, at your disposal are a plethora of development and coding tools, such as setting breakpoints, stepping through the execution of programs line-by-line, colour-coded comments and keywords, and an extensive help and example file system. Easily tie into Batch, MES, MRP or corporate systems, integrating factory floor OPC® information with such systems as Baan, SAP®, Microsoft® SQL 7.0, Access® and Oracle®.
