I inherited a project in which a ME application displays process measurements (temp, pressure, flow, etc) on a PanelView Plus display. The data are sourced from tags hosted on a 5069-L330ER controller. I searched both the FT View and the Studio 5000 project files but could not figure out how cfg_EU and cfg_Label got passed on to the display objects. I checked... the tags in Studio 5000 Logix Designer were not defined with any of these extended properties filled out. The FT View Studio project contains no parameter files, and all display objects needing EUs and labels were set up to use placeholder tags, which were connected to the process tags on Logix controller by reference. In otherwords, the EU and labels are not stored in the graphics objects.
What did I miss? Is there another place in the Studio 5000 project that keeps tracks of tag propertes such as cfg_EU? Please help. I am new to Logix and FT View programming. Thanks!
