Updated Nov 27, 2025
Architecture
Scripts run inside GENESIS32 runtime engine
Tags and alarms accessed through GENESIS32 tag database
Event triggers invoke scripts based on alarms, I/O, or user actions
External communication via OPC, COM, or database connections
Visualization objects updated in real-time by scripts
Rendering Model
Scripts executed in GENESIS32 runtime
HMI objects updated dynamically
Tags and alarms accessed through runtime database
Event-driven and scheduled tasks handled in real-time
External system calls executed via OPC/SQL/COM
