Create managed applications

Managed applications are built using the IDE and automation objects, in addition to the components of a Standalone application. Each Managed application is associated with a InTouchView App object.

When you install InTouch HMI, you can install several sample applications. You can examine these sample applications to understand how scripts, animations, and graphics work together to provide a visual interface for your production environment.

The following figure shows a portion of a window from the InTouch reactor demonstration application.

The reactor application demonstrates how you manage an application with the IDE and includes Industrial Graphics and objects.

The analog meter next to the product storage tank shows the current volume of liquid stored in the tank. The meter is not part of the standard reactor application.

This section describes the essential tasks to create a managed InTouch application by showing how to embed this meter into the Reactor application.
