The End module is a central element of the scripting and automation environment ProfiSignal Klicks. It marks the defined end of a process, control sequence, or event sequence and specifies the point at which a sequence is completed.
In ProfiSignal Klicks, automation tasks are modeled graphically using interconnected blocks. Each sequence begins with a start block and then passes through various process, decision, or function blocks. The end block marks the completion of this sequence and terminates further execution of the respective process path.
A flowchart can contain multiple end blocks. This is particularly useful when different conditions or events can lead to different outcomes. For example, successful process completions, error states, or alternative paths can each be defined with their own end blocks.
Like other flow blocks, the end block can also contain instructions in the scripting language Clicks can be added. This allows certain actions to be performed immediately before a process ends, for example:
- Storing Measurement or Process Data
- Event Logging
- Setting Status Values
- Triggering Notifications or Alarms
- Sending Notifications
- Passing Information to Other Processes
Thanks to this flexibility, the terminal module is suitable for both simple automation tasks and complex measurement, testing, and monitoring applications.
Typical applications for terminal modules:
- Automated Measurement Procedures
- Test Bench Controls
- Alarm and Event Management
- Process monitoring
- Data Logging and Reporting
- Machine and Plant Automation
Advantages of the final module:
- Defined Completion of Process Workflows
- Support for multiple endpoints within a process
- Integration of Custom Click Scripts
- Clear Structuring of Complex Automation Logic
- Easy Implementation of Errors and Special Cases
The End module plays a key role in ensuring that workflows in ProfiSignal Klicks are clearly organized and enables the controlled termination of processes within modern measurement, testing, and automation systems.
