Plant Scada Equipment Default Value

"Configuration Parameter" is commonly used for generating alarm, trend and variable tags in equipment model. Cicode function EquipGetParameter, however, is used for accessing runtime parameters. To define those runtime parameters for equipment, please refer to project ExampleSA for how-to. Below is the screenshot of Plant SCADA Studio where you can configure the runtime parameters for equipment in your project.

In this case, can you suggest a method to define a default value to a tag using equipment template? the value can be used later for read/write in graphic.

The idea is let my colleague with limited plant scada knowledge, can add equipment using equipment editor and key in the parameters if they do not like the default value. example "Freeze Limit", default is 3 cycles, my colleague can key in 5 cycles if they want. This freeze limit will then be used by cicode for some function.

User can further change the freeze limit in graphic later.

Can this be done using equipment function automatically (I mean the default value parts and let my colleague select other value)? The "Configuration Parameters is good that my colleague can key in value, but i cannot find a way to read/write in cicode or graphic.

Thanks a lot for the advise!

Unfortunately, the runtime parameters are not available in Equipment Editor. Thus, you will have to create those required runtime parameters in Runtime Parameters of Equipment.
