4. To create another parameter file based on an existing one, right-click the
parameter file and choose Duplicate.
For the CNC Work Cell application example, Drill_CNC and
Machine_CNC use the same Fanuc_CNC_Faceplate, but require
individual parameter files. For example, Drill_CNC is duplicated and
renamed to Machine_CNC in
step 5 .
5. Rename the parameter file as needed for your application.
6. Click OK.
7. Repeat step 1 … step 6 for each device or logic module parameter file.
This is the completed CNC_Work_Cell renamed parameter file
listing.
8. Assign the parameters in each of the parameter files.
In each parameter file, there are references to controller links
(shortcuts) or specific tag names. The ! before any text indicates that
line is a comment and each parameter file contains instructions on
how to configure it. The # before a number indicates a parameterized
tag.
For example, in the CNC Work Cell Drill_CNC parameter file parameter #1 contains the shortcut name
[CLX]. This shortcut name matches the name created in your RSLinx Enterprise communication setup.
Parameter #2 represents the tag name for the specific faceplate Add-On Instruction, within your RSLogix
5000 project, which the faceplate requests data from.
