Scripts

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

At the moment in TeslaSCADA2 you can use two languages for writing scripts - FBD (Functional Block Diagram) and ST (Structured Text). They are similar to languages used in PLC programming. Depending on the task at hand, you can choose one or another language. For most tasks, it is better to use ST language as it is more functional. ST language script can be bound to an object or tag as opposed to FBD language and ST language scripts has more call options. FBD language script is called only when tag's values used in this script are changed. But FBD language is more descriptive and may be more familiar to PLC program developers. Also, FBD language has functions that are not available in ST language. These functions are mainly related to time management such as timers, multivibrators, etc. In any case, the choice of the language in which your scripts will be written is yours. Below will be described how to create a particular script and its properties.
