Edit the Field Values for an Equipment Instance

You can edit the equipment fields and custom parameter values for an equipment instance.

If the associated equipment type is configured to use equipment property referencing, the values you enter may be used to generate the tags, alarms and trends associated with the equipment type (see Equipment Property Referencing).

Note: You cannot make changes to an equipment instance if its associated equipment type is currently open with unsaved changes.

To edit the field values for an equipment instance:

1. Open Equipment Editor and select the Equipment tab.

2. Open the equipment instance for which you would like to edit the fields values (see Open an Equipment Instance).

   The equipment fields and configuration parameters that are associated with the equipment instance will be available to display. To learn more about the fields, see Define Equipment in Plant SCADA Studio.

3. Locate the equipment field or custom parameter you would like to edit.

4. Enter the required value.

5. To save your changes, select Save from the File menu, or use the Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut.
