Application engineering

Application engineering means the process of customising MicroSCADA for a user
by creating an application which contains supervisory control functions. The
application can also contain pictures, dialogs, SCIL programs and necessary object
definitions. See Figure 5.1.-1.
The picture editor, the application object definition tools, the application libraries
and SCIL programming are used for application engineering. Application libraries
provide a fast application engineering of standard solutions, while SCIL
programming allows a variety of applications, even extreme specialisation.
Application engineering can be some of the tasks mentioned below.
• Creating the user interface by using the picture editor, application libraries and
dialog editor. Installation and configuration of standard functions is done in the
picture editor.
• Creating and defining application objects. Application objects are defined in the
picture editor or in the application object definition tools.
• Programming additional and other picture functionalities. This is mainly done by
using the SCIL editor.
• Programming other functionalities, for example, supervisory control and
calculation functions.
These tasks are generally done in parallel. Simultaneous display of several
MicroSCADA pictures in separate MicroSCADA monitors can be done on the same
screen. This means that system control, application engineering, maintenance and
operation can be done at the same time.
Fig. 5.1.-1 Application Engineering is done using standard functions to create
station pictures and databases.
