I seem to remember there is a way to dynamically change text in a parameter file, but can't find any example. For instance, lets say I have 20 PIDE tags in my PLC, and I want to bring them up as displays individually from a block of 20 buttons. I want each individual button to call up the Logix_PIDE faceplate display, but load a different tag for each different button - without having to have 20 different parameter files, one for each tag.
Is there a way to have a button or a touch target dyamically change the text in a single parameter file? Say I have these lines in a parameter file that are the 2 Global Object Parameter Values for the Logix_PIDE display. I just need to be able to have variable text in 2 places:
#1=[RSLINX]PIDE_01
#2=[RSLINX]PIDE_01_AT <-----corresponding autotune tag
I want to be able to have my button or target change the 01 to 02, 03...whatever I need it to be to load a different tag. Workable?
