Wonderware Intouch Time Delay Script - PLCS

The document discusses a Wonderware Intouch script for monitoring communication between an HMI and PLC. It describes using a heartbeat signal from the PLC to trigger a data change script in the HMI. If the heartbeat signal does not change for 10 seconds, a communication fault alarm will be triggered. The script establishes a 10 second delay before monitoring to prevent false alarms on startup. It provides example code to implement this communication monitoring functionality.
