Software design
During SCADA application build time, Vijeo Citect objects have to be dened and the data and data type
associated.
The following recommendations are provided to facilitate design, readability and re-use: -
Exchanges (gure below) are done via DDT variables (Standard Derived Data). -
Interchange le format XVM was chosen to manage the DDT variables type without needing to install the Unity -
tool on the station.
OFS server (OPC Factory Server) makes it possible to use Unity structured variables in unlocated format. -
The application is based on Genie and Super Genie objects.
The Super Genies has an advantage in comparison to Popup. It is a library object, it is not linked to the page or
to an application like popup. Super Genies from an application library can be reused easily by a new Vijeo Citect
project using function “Link Project”.
