SA Faceplates - Dynamically Display Info From Multiple Equipment

Chris

Hello,

Does anyone know how to, or is it even possible, to display values from various other equipment on a faceplate?

I have an equipment type, "SystemControl", that I created that handles system level control, like system enable/disable and auto/manual and higher level set points that are not tied directly to valves and meters. I have used the code from the adorner genie in a button to call the FP and it displays the "SystemControl" items just fine, but I need info from other things like a valve and flow meter. I have tried to use Equipment references and FP page associations with out success. Also, when I want to hide my "SystemControl" equipment the FP does not work.

  • I presume the references to the other devices are static? If so, you can just use normal tag bindings in your component expressions. E.g. FT001.ProcessValue, or FT001_ProcessValue.

    For a system level popup, I normally wouldn't make these dynamic, as you're never going to have more than one. And if you do, it's more than likely going to be different to the first.
  • Nick,

    I've just referenced the other equipment statically for now, however I have 6 clusters, all use the same layout and items/info and I'd like to use the one FP, not six, calling it from a genie(button). That way the only thing I'd need to do is change the cluster name during development on the genie on the page. The FP has several Composite genies on too.

    If it's not possible, not a big deal, just thought I'd ask.

    TIA

  • G'day Chris,

    One way to do it is to setup Equipment Runtime Parameters.

    Then on your faceplate, you can use:

    ?EQ1? in a comp genie

    ?EQ1?.PV if you want a specific tag

    Note that the "IsTag" property is TRUE.

    Cheers,
