Equipment Sequence Properties - Parameter tab fields
Use the
Parameters
tab of the Equipment Sequence Properties
dialog box to edit parameter tags (that is, inputs and outputs) for the given Equipment Sequence. These attributes are available on the Parameter
tab.
Item | Name | Purpose |
 | Name | The sequence name, which must follow the IEC-61131 Name Standard. The application ignores
invalid characters. |
 | Usage | Select the usage of the tag. You can choose Input Parameter or
Output Parameter to create a sequencing parameter. |
 | Sequencing | Select this option to designate the tag as a sequencing parameter. |
 | Data Type | Sequencing parameters must be one of the special sequence data types: SEQ_BOOL, SEQ_DINT, SEQ_REAL, SEQ_SINT, and SEQ_STRING. These complex data types provide the means for sequence parameters and step tags to have initial values, expressions, and quality of data values. |
 | Description | Enter an optional description for this sequencing parameter. |
 | Connections | Connections are wired between tags of Input, Output, InOut, and Public Usage. A connection between Program Parameters of different programs allows data to be shared by those parameters. |
OK | Select to accept edits. If all attributes are valid, the modified attributes are saved for the current Equipment Sequence and the dialog box closes. OK and Apply are unavailable if the dialog box contains invalid data. | |
Cancel | Select to cancel edits and close the Equipment Sequence Properties dialog box. | |
Apply | Select to apply edits and continue editing in the Equipment Sequence Properties dialog box. Applying edits runs the same validation as clicking OK . |
