Runtime method types

Methods are executed at runtime when an event occurs.

Local runtime methods

Local methods are exposed by project objects, including:
  • Alarms
  • Loggers
  • Databases
  • Graphical objects
For example,
Video
 objects expose the
Play
 method that starts the video playback.

FactoryTalk Optix Studio
 exposes global methods regardless of the selected node. Global methods are divided into these categories:
  • Variable commands
  • Core commands
  • Alarm commands
  • UI commands
  • Recipe commands
For example, the
Acknowledge all
 method acknowledges all alarms.
