| Tutorial 1 - Basics |
|---|
| In this tutorial we will show how to install the PROMOTIC system
and start creating an aplication emulating the hotel room heating control system. We will create the first variables and graphic panels. We will explain the terms data extension and data binding. We will also learn how to create a simple script, open graphic panels and the basics of remote application control via the Web. |
| Tutorial 2 - Trends |
|---|
| In this tutorial, we will explain how to trend the values of variables, i.e. store values with a timestamp.
We will show how to plot graphs of the value progression (so-called trends) using the viewer. We will explain how to configure the trend viewer and what is a group of rendered trends and we will show various optimizations to make viewing trends easier. |
| Tutorial 3 - Alarms+Events |
|---|
| In this tutorial we will explain:
- the concept of alarms (warning of a non-standard situation) and - the concept of gtalEvents (log of a operational situation). We will explain how to acknowledge the alarms. We will show how to view alarms and events using the viewers and how to display their history. |
| Tutorial 4 - Communication drivers |
|---|
| In this tutorial we will provide general information about communications and data sharing in the PROMOTIC system.
We will show how to communicate using the communication drivers. We will stop emulating the values of variables and configure the MODBUS communication to obtain them. |
| Tutorial 5 - Macro expressions, parameters and prototypes |
|---|
| In this tutorial we will explain what macro expressions are and show how to create and use them.
We will add more rooms to the application and learn how to use the parameters of the objects. The creation of other rooms is further facilitated by the use of so-called prototype, which is template specifying how 'similar' objects look. |
| Tutorial 6 - Working with files |
|---|
| In this tutorial we will learn how to read and write data from/to files.
First we read the values from the configuration file. That is the file from which the values are read at runtime launch. Next we will learn how to share data using the data file, which we can read from/write to while the application is running. |
