Projects
A project contains different components that you use to create
FactoryTalk Optix Applications
.FactoryTalk Optix
projects comply with the Open Platform Communication (OPC) standard, which provides interoperability between different systems.Components
A project can include these components:
- Objects. Physical objects such as a motor or non-physical objects such as a digital alarm.
- Object types. Model objects from which you can create object instances. Each object instance can contain specific objects and variables.
- Variables. Elements that represent characteristics of objects and specify the values of these characteristics.
- Variable types. Model variables from which you can create variable instances, which can contain other specific variables.
- Runtime method types. Model methods from which you can create method instances. Method instances can execute at runtime when an event, such as a user action or a change in a variable value, occurs.
- Predefined graphic objects. A predefined library of objects, such as controls, containers, drawings, or media content, which you can use to create a user interface forFactoryTalk Optix Applications.
- NetLogic. NetLogic objects that implement custom application logics developed in C#.
Special characters
You can use special characters and diacritics specific to the supported languages in object names and object properties.
To change the language settings, see Set options.
IMPORTANT:
If you use special characters in components visible at runtime, ensure that client devices include a font that supports these special characters. See Import fonts.
