Pass variable

davetcw · Mar 3, 2015

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I have a display using a parameter file. I want to be able to click on a button and have it bring up a popup display that displays the tag value associated with a placeholder. However, the placeholder needs to passed to the display from the first display so I can use the same display to come up when I click on different buttons, if this makes sense. Or if you have a better idea.

We are good, but not mind readers. What equipment are you talking about? Brand, Model Numbers, Revision as applicable...

It's an Allen Bradley L33ER and I'm using Factorytalk View Studio ME, release 8.00. Also using RSLogix 5000, version 20.01.

I've just spent a bunch of time figuring the same thing out.
I wasn't able to pass parameters through a second level of parameter files, but I was able to use a parameter file to the first level, and then a parameter list to get to the second level passing through the tags from the first level parameter file
Example:
ParameterFile1:
#1=tag1
#2=tag2

Parameter list from intermediate screen to second screen:
{#1},{#2},tag3,tag4,etc
