Define Equipment Configuration Parameters in Plant SCADA Studio
- Last UpdatedJul 18, 2023
- 2 minute read
Equipment configuration parameters can be applied to an equipment type to represent specific information about a physical piece of equipment, such as a set point or delay setting. A value can then be applied to this parameter for each associated equipment instance.
You can manually add equipment configuration parameters to a Plant SCADA project in Plant SCADA Studio.
To define an equipment configuration parameter:
-
In the System Model activity, select Equipment.
-
On the menu below the Command Bar, select Configuration Parameters.
A list of the configuration parameters included in the active project will display in the Grid Editor.
Note: When you access the Configuration Parameters view, a dialog may appear asking if you want to migrate version 1 equipment types and instances. If this occurs, see Migrate Custom Parameters to the Configuration Parameters Database.
-
Add a row to the Grid Editor.
-
Type the required information in each column, or in the Property Grid (see below for a description of the properties).
-
Click Save.
