User Configuration Applications

User configuration applications allow you to create the instructions and logic that monitor and control your process. These applications create configuration files. When started, system applications read the configuration files and use the information found here to execute the assigned tasks.

The Event Scheduler is an example of a user configuration application. In the Event Scheduler, you define the event that triggers an action (for example the time of day or a change in your process) and the action that you want to occur. Once the event is scheduled, the action automatically triggers when the event occurs. No further interaction is required.
