Honeywell

• Map to continuous type data

• Fixed data structure

• Allows one mapped parameter per point

– PV
• Used to monitor a totalizer register that is reset in the PLC
– Keeps a grand total using a parameter called the roll-over value
– Adds the roll-over when the monitored register is reset
– PV is the total
• Can also be used to monitor a device to keep track of total transitions

Introduction Honeywell

• Four Main Topics

1. Experion Script Basics

2. Quick Builder Script Editor

3. Script Engines

4. Run Time Errors

Experion Script Basics
Honeywell

• A Script is a short program that performs a specific task

– Written in Control Builder, Quick Builder, or Station

– Written using the Visual Basic Script language

– Runs based on events taking place

– Optimized for 30 lines or less

– Five types of scripts: Point, Server, Report, Periodic, and Library

• Concentration is on Point Scripts
• Others are covered in the Server 2 class

Script Editor
Honeywell

• Type of script determines which editor to use

– SCADA Point Script > Quick Builder

– CDA Point Script > Control Builder

– All other types > Station

– All editors have syntax error checking capability

– Quick Builder and Control Builder editors are identical

Experion Script Engines
Honeywell

• Scripts run in engines

– 20 engines for each server

• Each can run one script at a time

• Types of engines
– Automatic for robust running
– Manual for debugging and organizing related scripts
– 5 Automatic and 15 Manual engines

• Select the engine during script edit – can be changed later
