Architecture

SFCs are designed through drag-and-drop manipulation in the Designer. The charts can be found under the Global folder in the Designer's Project Browser. Charts are not part of any specific project; they are shared by all projects.

SFCs are executed in the Gateway. While any scope (Client, Designer, or Gateway) can start a new chart instance, the chart instance always executes in the Gateway.

SFC instances can be monitored in either the Client or the Designer. To monitor a running chart instance in the Designer, you can open that chart in the SFC workspace and double-click on the running instance. To monitor a running chart in the Client, a Vision project must be designed that uses the SFC module's monitoring panel component.
