I am building a system that has three identical machines running in a single Logix PLC as separate programs: Cell1, Cell2, Cell3
There are going to be three screens that are used to run the machines.
The obvious way to do it is to build a screen for Cell1 and then clone it and replace instances of cell1 with cellx. However this is somewhat time consuming after each update.
I know you can pass the program name as a parameter when a screen is opened so I can add a parameter file for each screen specifying the cell number to use in the tags.
Is there a way to specify a global parameter that can be substituted to every screen so I only have to alter one parameter to change a screen from one cell to another after cloning?
