Startup Functions Configuration

The Startup Functions Setup page is used to define the Startup Cicode that is executed by each CitectSCADA process.

The Startup Functions Setup page lists each component's full name, including the cluster to which it belongs, the priorities of the components and the startup function assigned to each component. If the Multi-process option was not selected on the Computer Role Configuration page there will only be one entry listed, either Client or Client and Servers. If the Multi-process option was selected, you have the option of assigning startup functions for each component on this computer.

If the StartupCode parameter value for a process is invalid, the CitectSCADA Runtime Manager will simply ignore it on start up.

To assign a startup function to a component:

  1. Select the component from the list. To select multiple components, hold down the Ctrl key as you select each item.
  2. Click Modify.
  3. Type the name of the Cicode function you want to call on startup for that component.
  4. Click OK.

When you complete the Computer Setup Wizard, the events are written to each component section in the citect.ini file; for example:

...
[Alarm.Cluster1.AlarmServer1]
CPU=1
StartupCode=alarmServerStartup
...
[Trend.Cluster1.TrendServer1]
CPU=2
StartupCode=trendServerStartup
...
