Plugin SCRIPT

The SCRIPT plugin is provided to program devices using the LUA script language (to see Lua 5.1. Introduction).

_________________________________________________________________________________

The plugin is added using the 'Add Protocol' command . Upon that command, the dialog opens to choose the protocol (SCRIPT) and a type of the node created (any node type can be chosen for the SCRIPT protocol – see Node Types ):

script_img1

Upon the OK command, the SCRIPT node is created. A set of node parameters depends on a type of that node (see The Dialog of Node Parameters and Node Types ).

The 'Add Device' command from the context menu of the SCRIPT node is used to create the script device in the node:

script_img2

To configure a device, use the dialog of device parameters .

A device can include tags or/and groups of tags. To create such objects, use respectively the 'Add Group' command or the 'Add. Protocol Tag' command :

script_img3

To configure a tag, use the dialog of tag parameters .

A dialog of node/device/tag parameters contains the Script section. That section includes parameters and tools to develop LUA scripts respectively at the node/device/tag level.

The Script Editor is provided to develop a LUA script.
