1. Create Tag Expressions

1. Navigate to Scripts → Expressions
2. Add calculated tag:

Temperature Conversion:

1. temperature conversion:

Add status logic:

Conditional Logic:

2. Create Script Task

1. Go to Scripts → Tasks
2. Add new task:

Production Counter:

csharp

1. Click plus icon, name: ShiftCounter
2. Choose language CSharp
3. Press OK
4. Use Server.DateTimeInfo.Hour as Trigger
5. Double-click to open Code Editor
6. Enter code (no method wrapper):

// Reset counter at shift change
DateTimeint nowhour = DateTime@Server.DateTimeInfo.NowHour;
if (now.Hourhour == 6 || now.Hourhour == 14 || now.Hourhour == 22)
{
    if (@Tag.ShiftReset == false)
    {
        @Tag.Units_Previous = @Tag.Units_Produced;
        @Tag.Units_Produced = 0;
        @Tag.ShiftReset = true;
    }
}
else
{
    @Tag.ShiftReset = false;
}

Configure:

• Trigger: Timer
• Rate: 60000ms (1 minute)
• Domain: Server

3. Build Script Class
Navigate to Scripts → Classes
Create class: 
TankCalculations:
csharp
 TankCalculations
Enter methods (no class declaration):

public    public static double CalculateVolume(double level, double diameter)
    {
        double radius = diameter / 2;
        return Math.PI * radius * radius * level;
    }
    
    public static double FlowRateCalculateFlowRate(double volumeStart, double volumeEnd, int minutes)
{
    if (minutes == 0) return {0;
        return (volumeEnd - volumeStart) / minutes;
    }
    
    public static string GetAlarmTextGetStatusText(double value, double limit)
    {
        if (value > limit)
            return $"High: {value:F2} (Limit: {limit:F2})";
        else
            return "Normal";
    }
4. Use Class in Expression
Go to Scripts → Expressions
In tag expressions:
csharp
@Script
Create volume calculation:
Field
Value
Object
Tag.Tank1_Volume
Expression
Script.Class.TankCalculations.CalculateVolume(
@Tag
Tag.Tank1_Level, 
 
 10.5)
Python Integration
Scripts → Settings
Enable Python
Create Python script:
python
import numpy as np
from datetime import datetime

def calculate_statistics(values):
    """Calculate statistical values"""
    arr = np.array(values)
    return {
        'mean': np.mean(arr),
        'std': np.std(arr),
        'max': np.max(arr),
        'min': np.min(arr)
    }

def predict_value(history, hours_ahead):
    """Simple linear prediction"""
    # Implementation here
    return predicted_value

# Set tag values
tags['Stats_Mean'] = calculate_statistics(history)['mean']
Event-Driven Scripts
Create event handler:
csharp
// On tag change event
public void OnTemperatureChange()
{
    if (@Tag.Tank1_Temperature > @Tag.HighLimit)
    {
        @Tag.Alarm_Active = true;
        @Script.Class.Notifications.SendEmail(
            "operator@company.com",
            "High Temperature Alert",
            $"Tank 1: {@Tag.Tank1_Temperature}°C"
        );
    }
}
Bind to tag:
Tag: Tank1_Temperature
Event: OnValueChange
Script: OnTemperatureChange
Test Scripts
Start Runtime with debugger
Set breakpoints in scripts
Monitor script execution:
