The SCM# View is an application XML configuration view for Cxxx SCM type Control Modules that provides an alternative view into the sequence configuration in a structured language similar to PMCL. The SCM# (pronounced as SCM Sharp) language is familiar to people with Honeywell Control Language experience, but offers a more structured approach in the use of delimiters such as curly braces to declare scope in code functions.
Working with large Sequence Control Modules can be difficult when navigating a large visual canvas of sequence elements or trying to discover entity and parameter usage within the module or simply following control flow branching. Features within the SCM# view facilitate search and navigation operations. You can also quickly identify changes between versions of a particular SCM entity using differential analysis tools on the textual SCM# source code.
The SCM# View is a read-only view of the SCM sequence configuration translated to SCM#. A future release of Control Architect will allow development of SCM modules using this structured SCM# Language.
You can access this view for an SCM type entity by invoking the ChartView. The SCM# view is automatically generated from analysis of the SCM configuration when the ChartView is invoked.
