PCMDSRC parameter values

Use the
Parameters
 tab of the
PCMDSRC Properties
dialog box to modify values of parameters available from the instruction.
To modify parameter values for PCMDSRC instructions
  1. Insert an instruction in the FBD editor.
  2. On the FBD instruction, select the
    Configuration
    icon DotsIcon_v31.
  3. Select the
    Parameters
    tab.
  4. Configure these settings:
    • Vis
      . Select the check boxes in this column to determine which parameters are visible on a function block instruction. This setting only affects instructions in the function block diagram editor.
      If the parameter is wired to another parameter, the check box is selected and cannot be cleared. The parameter must be visible on the block.
    • Value
      . Displays the current value of the parameter. Values in this column are displayed according to the display style of the data type of the block tag.
      If the parameter is wired to another parameter, the value column is read-only and the value cannot change. If modifying this value while online, changes occur when you select
      Apply
      .
  5. To reset the
    Vis
    and
    Value
    columns to the user-stored default values, select
    Insert instruction defaults
    . Use the button to insert instruction defaults saved in the registry to this instance of the tag. The button is only enabled when the instruction defaults are available in the registry.
  6. To reset the
    Vis
    and
    Value
    columns to factory default values, select
    Insert factory defaults
    .
  7. To save currently visible values in the parameters tab to the registry, select
    Save instruction defaults
    . The current values become the instruction default values.
  8. To sort the parameters alphabetically, select
    Sort Parameters
    . When this check box is not selected, the default parameter order is applied, with inputs followed by outputs.
  9. Monitor these parameters, which are read-only:
    • Input/Output Row Header
      . An I at the start of a row indicates an Input parameter. An O indicates an Output parameter. Information in this column is read-only.
    • Name

    • Type
      . Displays the data type for the parameter. Information in this column is read-only.
    • Description
      . Displays the description of the parameter.
    • Execution Order Number
      . Indicates the order of execution for this function block in the routine after the routine is verified.
  10. To prevent the tag description from appearing in the Function Block Diagram, select
