4. To create another parameter file based on an existing one, right-click the
parameter file and choose Duplicate.
For the Widg-O-matic machine application example, Gantry_X_Axis and
Gantry_Y_Axis use the same CIP_Motion_Faceplate, but require
individual parameter files. For example, Gantry_X_Axis is duplicated and
renamed to Gantry_Y_Axis in
step 5 .
5. Rename the parameter file as needed for your application.
6. Click OK.
7. Repeat step 1 … step 6 for each device or logic module parameter file.
This is the completed Widg-O-matic renamed parameter file listing.
8. Assign the parameters in each of the parameter files.
In each parameter file, there are references to controller links (shortcuts) or specific tag names. The ‘!’
before any text indicates that line is a comment and each parameter file contains instructions on how to
configure it. The ‘#’ before a number indicates a parameterized tag.
For example, in the Widg-O-matic Gantry_X_Axis parameter file Parameter #1 contains the shortcut
name [CLX]. This should match the shortcut name created in your RSLinx Enterprise communication
setup. Parameter #2 represents the tag name for the specific Faceplate AOI, within your Logix Designer
project, which the faceplate requests data from.
