Denilson Pegaia “Simple
Samples” are small projects that demonstrate simple features.
The
target is give a quick overview about the theme and be used as start
point for related discussions. Follow there are a short description
and the
configuration main steps.

Description:

Platinum Member
By
changing a value of a tag (HMI_Tag_1), a script will be called and
increment the value of a second tag (HMI_Tag_2).

WinCC
could call scripts triggered by time or by Tag change. It makes
Joined: 9/23/2005 possible, for example, to call a script (indirectly) by a PLC
command.
