Complete Ignition newbie here:
I've managed to wrap my head around the Gateway event scripts and got a scheduled script writing to an OPC tag once an hour.
Now lookingfor a way to make the time adjustable by the user. Ie. bring the 'Settings' pan of a scheduled script to a HMI Window.
Makes sense ? simple solution ?
Makes sense, yes. Not possible in Ignition.
If you need something adjustable, maintain a schedule database and use a one-minute scheduled event (every minute) to see what is due to execute. Mark execution start times in the database before execution to ensure no accidental repeats.
I agree with Phil and have done something "like" this. I made a client idle detection script that runs once a minute and if a client is idle it adds a minute to a client tag, and then checks how many minutes they've been idle against a database configured time - if beyond configured time - perform the action.
not at all same use-case, but the same in that neither of our scripts would run at a configurable time - but using a configured time variable in a db for our script to check against periodically.
