Libraries

The Librerías section of the project tree contains reusable symbols and parameterised equipment templates. Studio calls each one a library object. Files still use faceplates/*.json and kind: "faceplate", so existing projects remain compatible.

Three library sources

Library	Storage	Editing
Project	Project faceplates/ folder	Create, rename, duplicate, move into folders and delete
Standard	Bundled with the application	Read-only; Copiar al proyecto para modificarlo creates an editable copy
External	Linked *.abscada-library.json package and alias	Fixed version, explicitly updated

Standard library

Screens reference standard objects as estandar__<object>; they are not copied into the project. Gráficos contains 35 static SVG symbols: tanks and silos, valves, pumps and motors, process equipment, instruments and electrical equipment.

Objetos contains animated symbols:

Object	Parameters	Appearance
Pump, motor, fan	marcha, fallo (bool)	Grey stopped, green running, red fault
Valve	abierta (bool)	Grey closed, green open
Electrical switch	cerrado (bool)	Red closed, green open
Tank level	nivel (float, %)	Level bar and percentage

Uncertain quality or communication failure appears amber. SVG graphics stay sharp when resized or zoomed. An image can also use library://estandar/graficos/<symbol>.svg.

Insert an object

Drag an object from Librerías onto the canvas, or choose Objeto de librería in the toolbox. Its picker supports search; double-click an item or press Insertar.

Studio asks you to bind each parameter to a variable of the matching type. Bindings can later be changed in the inspector. Objects without a background render without a frame.

Project library

Use + Crear → Objeto de librería… to create a template with a name, title and dimensions. Edit it like a screen, but declare parameters in Ajustes avanzados… with types bool, int, float or string. Elements, dynamics and visual states reference $parameter, such as $marcha or $nivel, instead of project variables.

Right-click the project library to create, rename or delete folders. Deleting a folder moves its contents up a level. Drag objects between folders or use Mover a carpeta. Folders only organise Studio; Runtime ignores them. Double-click a screen instance to open its template.

Equipment pop-ups

A button using Abrir objeto de librería emergente opens a template in its own window with the supplied parameters. A button inside an object can forward its own parameters ($marcha), so each pump can open its own detail window without a separate screen per pump.

External libraries

1. Open Proyecto → Librerías externas… → Vincular… and choose a package.
2. Assign an alias, such as equipos. The tree displays the alias and version.
3. Drag objects such as equipos__valvula onto the canvas and bind their parameters.
4. Use Actualizar desde… to select a new version. Incompatible parameter or object changes in use are rejected.

The project stores a complete snapshot with a SHA-256 fingerprint, so it works even if the original package disappears. See Creating libraries to publish your own.
