HMI Programming and SCADA Programming<\/strong><\/a> are essential for creating efficient and responsive automation systems. When working with Optix, leveraging NetLogic allows for seamless integration between C# code and the SCADA environment, enabling advanced control and data exchange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NetLogic is C# code that is linked to Optix. Optix can call methods with parameters, set private C# variables, and has numerous C# Libraries integrated by default to assist with passing data between Optix and your C# code. Optix also allows you to link the monitoring of C# code to an Optix runtime instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linking Variables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When creating NetLogic, you can define variables that interface with the C# code, and can be both written to and read from said C# code. You can also define variable categories to assist with organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • First, Variables are added onto the NetLogic object in Optix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    An example of variables attached to a NetLogic object<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These variables can be referenced in the C# logic by utilizing the \u201cGetVariable\u201d method on our LogicObject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • For any variables at the top-most level, simply call: LogicObject.GetVariable(\u201cYourVariable\u201d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • For nested variables (such as variables under \u201cTable\u201d in the example above), define a new IUAVariable for the nested name (Tables in this case), and then reference the individual elements of that new variable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
