Projects
A project contains different components that you use to create FactoryTalk Optix Applications.
FactoryTalk Optix projects comply with the Open Platform Communication (OPC) standard, which provides interoperability between different systems.
Components
-
Objects. Physical objects such as a motor or non-physical objects such as a digital alarm.
-
Object types. Model objects from which you can create object instances. Each object instance can contain specific objects and variables.
-
Variables. Elements that represent characteristics of objects and specify the values of these characteristics.
-
Variable types. Model variables from which you can create variable instances, which can contain other specific variables.
-
Runtime method types. Model methods from which you can create method instances. Method instances can execute at runtime when an event, such as a user action or a change in a variable value, occurs.
-
Predefined graphic objects. A predefined library of objects, such as controls, containers, drawings, or media content, which you can use to create a user interface for FactoryTalk Optix Applications.
-
NetLogic. NetLogic objects that implement custom application logics developed in C#.
