Cross invocation

Cross Invocation is the means by which the HMI Controls pass data to, and activate, an automation server such as an HMI or Visual Basic program. The data passed is specific to an equipment resource selected from the

FactoryTalk Batch

Client applications.

FactoryTalk Batch

provides a procedure-centric view of the batches running in the plant. The HMI provides an equipment-centric view of these batches. If the HMI is an automation server that supports the Cross Invocation interface, cross invocation can send equipment-specific information about a batch to your HMI. The HMI can then act based on the data received. For example, it may invoke a graphic specific to the selected equipment resource or information specific to an Equipment Module’s running logic.
