Applications are divided into subcategories, depending on their main goal, please read through the entire ReadMe file to determine what additional FactoryTalk Optix applications or settings may be needed to ensure the proper emulation of the project.
Demo
Demo applications show the high-level functionality of FactoryTalk Optix. Demo applications may contain a significant amount of internal code used to simulate the application. The internal code does not always represent the best practices of FactoryTalk Optix application design. It is best to not reverse engineer/re-use demo applications, as they are not suitable for direct use in a production environment.Sample
Samples are applications that show a specific feature and can be reverse-engineered easily to understand how it works. To be used as a guide only for production application development. Not suitable for direct use in a production environment.Training
Training applications show a specific feature as part of the Training program with our customers/distributors, it is generically a very small application that shows few concepts and it's easy to replicate. Those applications cover the most requested features or the basics of FactoryTalk® Optix™Library
A Library is a special repository that is meant to be cloned to the Templates Library of FactoryTalk® Optix™, containing cool add-ons developed by our techniciansGame
A set of projects used to showcase the features, performances and integration capabilities of FactoryTalk® Optix™. These are just proof of concepts and should never be used outside the testing laboratory.Sample projects are typically developed on the latest available stable release unless a specific version is set in the README file
