Basic workflow to create an InTouch 10.5 application
- Install InTouch 10.5 on development machine.
- Open WindowMaker and create a new application.
- Define tag structure (names, data types, initial values).
- Build screens using symbols, animations, and graphical elements.
- Add scripts for logic, alarm handling, and user interaction.
- Configure alarm classes, logging, and security.
- Test in WindowViewer (local runtime) and validate animations and scripts.
- Deploy runtime to operator station(s) and connect to PLCs/OPC servers.
- Integrate with historian and supervisory systems as needed.
