iFIX对象结构层级示意图02

 A. Intellution WorkSpace

• The Intellution WorkSpace is the “iFIX Container”
– it is made up of objects and collections of objects
– this collection of objects is what makes up the iFIX application
• The iFIX picture document is an object containing other objects
– User interface objects l like rectangles, polygons, chords, etc.
• The iFIX picture document will also contain the VBA script code

 B. Objects that are visible at runtime in the iFIX container:

• Picture documents (.grf files that compose the screen view)
• iFIX Scheduler documents
• Fix2D objects (rectangles, text, lines, and such that make up a picture item)
• Groups (named collection of shapes that form valves, pumps, tanks, etc.)
• Objects that belong to a Collection
• Data Link (datasource reference)
– this is actually a special type of the Text Objects
• Animations (an embedded object attached to visible object)
• ActiveX objects inserted to do a runtime function
– iFIX Alarm Summary object
– 3rd party controls

 C. Intellution WorkSpace allows user interface objects to be manipulated

• Object properties can be set at design time or with VBA script
• Wizards and Experts are available to add VB scripts to the objects
• iFIX Scheduler object creates script when it is configured

 D. Intellution WorkSpace allows objects to connect to various datasources

• iFIX process database , Historical files, Global variables, OPC servers and other objects
