Hello All,
I am relatively new to Siemens Software but have about 4 years of experience with Rockwell Software. I am currently working on a project in which I would use parameterization as a solution if I was working in with Rockwell's FactoryTalk View ME. Unfortunately I am working with Siemens WinCC which I have less experience with.
Question:
Is there a way to parameterize tags in WinCC just like FactoryTalk View ME?
For example:
In FactoryTalk View ME I can enter {#2} instead of a tag name for an object's tag value. Then I can fill out a parameter file that contains:
#2 = {[PLC]Motor5.VelocityOut}
When I display a given screen I then have the option to display that screen with a given parameter file. This allows me to use the same screen with different tags/parameter files for different situations.
Thanks in advance for any help!
