Most Popular & Common Industrial Application Software Scripting

VB, VBA & VBE

VBA Visual Basic for Applications VBA is a powerful scripting tool that is fully integrated into many industrial SCADA and supporting applications to let you quickly and easily automate operator tasks and create automation solutions. VBA scripts can be as simple or complex as you need them to be, allowing you to add custom functionality and extend your SCADA software as needed to accommodate your automation strategy. Its powerful and easy-to-use development environment allows you to reuse existing Visual Basic code.
VBA is an implementation of Microsoft's event-driven programming language Visual Basic 6, which was declared legacy in 2008, and its associated integrated development environment (IDE). Although pre-.NET Visual Basic is no longer supported or updated by Microsoft, the VBA programming language was upgraded in 2010 with the introduction of Visual Basic for Applications 7 in Microsoft Office applications and it is still popular in industrial applications and customizations.
