Faq
Can PCS7 Scripts run outside Siemens environment? -> No, they execute in WinCC/PCS7 runtime.
Do scripts require VBScript or C knowledge? -> Yes, at least basic scripting is needed.
Can scripts manipulate alarms? -> Yes, for custom acknowledgment and handling.
Are scripts limited to single HMI screen? -> No, can be global or local to screens.
Can scripts integrate with SQL databases? -> Yes, via OLE/ODBC interfaces.
