CONFIGURING FORMULAS
The creation of formulas allows the user to create sequences of expressions, involving application tags, thus allowing the
transformation of data extracted from the tags in useful information for a certain process.
To create and set up a task, proceed as described below:
1. Open the CONFIGURE window, pressing the button on the upper tool bar.
2. Double clock on the icon FORMULAS. The window CONFIGURE FORMULAS will be displayed.
3. Press the button NEW and the window FORMULA PROPERTIES will be displayed. Examples of these windows are
shown below.
4. In FORMULA PROPERTIES, attribute a name to the Formula. The name will be used to identify the Formula in the
application.
5. The rate of updating indicates the intervals the defined expressions will be executed in.
6. The field “enabled” defines whether the formula will be started as soon as the supervision starts or not.
7. Define the variables that will be used in the formula; they can be numbers or tags. An example of the window for
variables addition is presented below.
