7. Assign device faceplate Add-On
Instruction tags to all nine
parameters.
Each parameter #1…#9 corresponds to the device Add-On Instruction tag name of each machining status
faceplate Row #1…#9. You must assign the #1 parameter to a device faceplate Add-On Instruction that includes
the Inp_NumRowsVis assignment that was configured in
Chapter 4 .
The remaining parameters #2…#9 must be assigned to valid device faceplate Add-On Instruction tag names for
the machining status faceplate to operate without errors, even if corresponding machining status faceplate rows
are not being used or assigned to non-preconfigured devices. It is recommended to fill in the unused parameters
with the last valid Add-On Instruction tag name.
In the CNC Work Cell example we are only using four rows; therefore, parameter #1…#4 are assigned to the
corresponding device Add-On Instruction tags that we display in rows #1…#4.
The remaining parameters, #5…#9, are assigned
to the #4 row device Add-On Instruction tag
name, [CLX]Gantry_Y_Axis_FP, as a place
holder for those faceplate objects in the
non-visible rows #5…#9.
