Define Equipment Runtime Parameters
- Last UpdatedJul 18, 2023
- 2 minute read
Equipment runtime parameters are a set of parameters that are passed into content pages as associations. For example, a sub-page with a faceplate that displays information for multiple pieces of equipment.
Note: Equipment runtime parameters can be used with the AssEquipParameters and EquipGetParameter Cicode functions.
You can manually add equipment runtime parameters to a Plant SCADA project.
To define an equipment runtime parameter:
-
In the System Model activity, select Equipment.
-
On the menu below the Command Bar, select Runtime Parameters.
The list of equipment runtime parameters will display in the Grid Editor.
-
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.

By default, this is TRUE. If the value is set to a tag name, the tag value will be evaluated as such. Set this to FALSE if you have set a value manually instead of specifying a tag name. Note: If this is a tag name it can be used in conjunction with the Cicode function AssEquipParameters to pass those tags as Super Genie associations. |
