The parameter file contains configuration for two parameters. Parameter #1 represents the tag name for the specific
Faceplate AOI in your RSLogix 5000 project. Parameter #2 represents the tag name for the Base Energy Object tag

the shortcut name created in your RSLinx Enterprise communication setup.
