Below an ABB Aspect Automation script outputting all objects (and object type) found in the Control Structure
The output is printed directly to the shell, e.g.
C:\TEMP> C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\cscript.exe findtags.vbs
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.812

*** Enumerating objects. This may take a few minutes...
Object 1: Graphics Test Network (Generic OPC Server Network)
Object 2: Random_1_5 (Random)
Object 3: Sinus_1 (Sinus)
...
Object 9410: Square Waves (Generic OPC Object)
Object 9411: Triangle Waves (Generic OPC Object)
Object 9412: Write Error (Generic OPC Object)
Object 9413: Write Only (Generic OPC Object)
Object 9414: Configured Aliases (Generic OPC Object)
***
Total count: 9414, execution time: 118.62
Provided "as is" with no warranties. OPC property names and values not output as it would make the script run much slower (unless the script is made much more complex to cache types & variables). Since object type is output, one can easily guess the properties available.
A property value is easily output by WScript.Echo obj.properties("Function Block:ValueReal") or set with obj.properties("Control Module:ValueBool") = True. Remember, this interface was made for compatibility with as much as possible, not performance. Reading and writing properties need to be made in a responsible & controlled manner to not overload or jeopardise the OPC server and control application hosting them.
