I am trying to load a parameter file using an alias tag based upon which piece of equipment I am currently viewing and I cannot find any combination that will work for me. Here is a brief explanation of what I am trying to do. On one HMI I have 12 identical pieces of equipment. I have a goto screen button at the bottom of the main screen for each individual machine thus 12 buttons on the bottom of the screen. Each button loads a different number into the parameter memory (machine 1 loads a 01 into #1, machine 2 loads a 02 into #1, machine 12 loads a 12 into #1 and so forth).
I can do just about anything using this alias of {#1} in order to use only one display screen and change the alias value except the parameter file loads. One screen that I load would have too many tags on it to fit on one screen so I have made a group of parameter files to break up the tags. So I have parameter files named “Machine No 01 File_Page01”, “Machine No 01 File_Page02”, “Machine No 01 File_Page03” for all 12 machines. What I want to do is load the parameter file with an expression like “Machine No {#1} File Page01” on my goto display button but I cannot find any combination that will work for me. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help!
