Introduction to AVEVA Real-Time System

AVEVA Real-Time System (RTS) is software platform that allows you to build and automate sequences of actions to perform in AVEVA Process Simulation. It uses the Scripting Interface to interact with AVEVA Process Simulation. If you are not familiar with the Scripting Interface, we highly recommend that you review the Scripting Interface Help distributed with AVEVA Process Simulation before you start using RTS.

RTS includes the following components that allow you to manage your sequences:

• A command-line tool (rts.exe)

• RTS Console

A sequence consists of a set of cycle script (.csx) files that define the actions to perform and a set of JavaScript Object Notation (.json) files that define how and when the sequence should run.

There are typically two types of environments for RTS, development and production.

In a development environment, you are typically building and testing your sequences to ensure that they work as expected. Often, you have the AVEVA Process Simulation user interface (UI) open while you are running your sequences.

In a production environment, you typically run RTS as a service. Your completed sequences are already scheduled to run in the background, and you rarely need to open the AVEVA Process Simulation UI.
