Input propagation
Avoid oscillation of
input/output when input and
output point at the same OPC
tag

tag is different from the output
tag
And it is likely that input devices are switched off and on

Memory Usage Methodology
OPC DA Requirements 100 KB / OPC Server
1 KB / OPC Tag
OPC AE Requirements Maximum buffer: 1KB * Maximum Alarm Burst
Allocate maximum buffer for each AE Client

How to Scale Up
To double or triple the
maximum number of clients
that can be connected to a
single node:
Separation of OPC DA & ICONICS Servers
Separation of Administrative & Data Servers

Drag & Drop Pens on a Trend
Any OPC Tag can be turned into
a drag & drop source
Also expose HDA tags
via the hda. Prefix

Dynamic Drag & Drop Tag List
Define a tag list and appropriate descriptions in an alias file
Show the descriptions in a process point
Use a colour or hide dynamic for the tags
Enable drag/drop for this dynamic
Add buttons to load different alias files as required

Custom Command Servers Principles
Custom Command Server is implemented as a COM object Many programming languages supported: Visual Basic, C++, C#, etc.
User driven using GraphWorX32 pick fields (runtime) Supports use of multiple Custom Command Servers in a single display
User driven using GraphWorX32 custom button (configuration) Available on the property pages of dynamic and static objects
Automatic for Alarm Viewer events Available from GENESIS32 version 9

Advantages & Disadvantages
AdvantagesSingle Code Base
VBA code only shared within a single display VBScript/Jscript code defined per object
Protect IP in compiled code
VBA can be protected via password No protection for VBScript/Jscript code
Source Control VBA/VBScript/Jscipt code cannot be easily
source controlled as it is part of the display
Version Management VBA/VBScript/Jscipt code cannot be easily
source controlled as it is part of the display
WebHMI Support VBA cannot be used in WebHMI
DisadvantagesRequires Visual Studio
VBA/VBScript/Jscript programming environment provided by GENESIS32
Requires visual studio to debug
Needs distribution mechanism
VBA/VBScript/Jscript code is part of the display, custom command servers are separate entities
NeutralBetter planning required
As a separate component is created more of a software engineering approach is required
Better understanding As all interaction takes place via OLE automation
and more can happen concurrently a better understanding of the system as a whole is needed for a successful implementation
