I need to run a Cicode function from a PLANT SCADA event.

[Dilhan]

I have written a Cicode function to rotate an object. Currently, it runs through a button press, but I want it to run automatically through a PLANT SCADA event. How can I configure this?

Hi @Dilhan,

I'd recommend taking a look at the following help sections (and sub sections):

https://docs.aveva.com/bundle/plant-scada/page/1095491.html

https://docs.aveva.com/bundle/plant-scada/page/1095492.html

You need to enable events on the machine by setting in the Citect.ini [Event]Server=1, then decide what process the Event will run in. This is decided in the Citect.ini under the specific section, e.g. if you want the Event to run on the Client process, you define the Event name in the following section:

[Client]

Events="EventName1","EventName2",...

Note: All events that have "Global" or nothing in the Name field are enabled automatically in the client.

You then need to look at the event Config and carefully define the trigger (and other fields as relevant). If you always want the even to run, then put "TRUE" or "1" in the trigger field.

Experiment with these settings on a small stand alone test project and it will become clear how they work. Please also note that Events do not support redundancy. If you require redundant capabilities, you should make use of the Report Server and embed any code within the Report file. 

Let us know if you require any further assistance.

Kind regards
