This resource stores and transfers a value set to a variable set. It works similarly to Elipse SCADA’s recipes. They comprise:
Templates: these are the formula’s fields; they can be restricted.
Units: these are sets of the variables that are connected to the fields.
Values: these are value sets that will be transferred to the units.
To insert the Formula module into your application, follow these procedures:
- Right-click the project and select Insert–Formula to add this item to the project.
- Double-click it to open the Formula configuration wizard. On the first window, type the name of the table where the Formula data will be stored and select the database server.
- Create templates and set up their names, field type, and restrictions. On the restriction window, you will be able to set up the limit types for each field.
- On the next window, create units and set up their field variables.
- Then, create value sets and set up their fields’ values.
Now your Formula is fully set up and ready to be used.
