Creating a New Module

Modules in OpenSCADA are the shared libraries, which are dynamically connected to the OpenSCADA core at the time of the program execution. Many of the modules can be disabled, connected and updated during the execution from modules scheduler. Modules can also be included into the OpenSCADA core during building, by an argument -enable-{ModName}=incl to the "configure" configuration script, what can you learn from building manual. OpenSCADA modules can be of seven types according to the present modular subsystems. For now the modules for the OpenSCADA are written in the "C++" programming language, although in the future the bindings to other languages may appear.
