Configure Project Database Parameters

Project database parameters can be used to set nominal defaults for parameters that are local to a specific Plant SCADA project, rather than a particular computer. For example, you could use the project database parameters to specify login requirements for all computers in a Plant SCADA system.

To create or change parameters in the project database, you use the Setup activity.

To set parameters in the project database:

1. From the Setup activity, select Parameters.

2. Enter the Section Name of the parameter (16 characters or less).

3. Enter the Name of the parameter (16 characters or less).

4. Enter a Value for the parameter (254 characters or less).

5. Add a Comment if required.

6. Click Save to add the record to the database.

If you set (or change) parameters in the project database, you need to re-compile the project before the new parameter settings are used.

Note: Parameters that are set in the project database take lower precedence than those specified for a particular computer in the Citect.ini file. For more information, see Parameter Precedence.
