WCCOActrl

With the aid of the control language Control value changes of different data point variables can be combined with each other. Control scripts can be created in a script editor in the attribute editor of the module GEDI. These scripts combine changes of data point variables with changes of graphics elements.

Control scripts can also be created and executed independent from the user interface manager. An arbitrary text editor can be used when creating the scripts. When executing scripts the Control manager of WinCC OA is used.

The scripts triggered with the aid of the Control manager can run an unlimited time. Also the amount of scripts that can be executed this way is unlimited. As soon as the termination condition of a script is reached also the associated Control manager is closed. When the Control manager is called the scripts are tested for syntax errors by the manager.

The following syntax is used to call the Control manager:

WCCOActrl [option] [filename]

The appropriate path name of the control script is specified as fileName.

main()
{
  int i;
  dyn_int arrs;
  for (i = 0; i <= 2; i++)
  arrs[i] = i;
  for (i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
  {
    DebugN( arrs[i] );
  }
}

For a Control manager you can also specify parameters for the script you start:

WCCOActrl [option] [filename] {parameter}

You can enter the option -n.

EXAMPLE

You can specify two parameters for the following script:

main(string p1, string p2)
{
  DebugTN(p1,p2);
}

Call a Control manager as follows:

WCCOActrl -n myScript.ctl hello world
