Configure a Parameter File
1. From the explorer window in FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Parameters folder, right-click the
ME_PowerFlex_Parameter.par file, and choose Rename.
2. Rename the parameter file with the name of the corresponding device in your RSLogix5000 application.
For example, Motor_1.
3. Double-click the parameter file to open it.
The parameter file contains configuration for two parameters. Parameter #1 represents the tag name for the specific
Faceplate AOI in your RSLogix 5000 project. Parameter #2 represents the tag name for the Base Energy Object tag
(UDT_BEO) in your RSLogix5000 project. This second parameter only applies when the energy monitoring
option is being used. Each tag contains a controller shortcut name in brackets. This must match the shortcut name
created in your RSLinx Enterprise communication setup.
4. Replace the shortcut name (CLX) and DriveName in parameters 1 and 2(if applicable) to match the tags configured
in your RSLogix5000 project.
For the Motor_1 example, the configuration looks like the following:
5. Save your parameter file.
6. To add parameter files for additional drives:

b. Rename the file with the new device name.
c. Open the parameter file and configure the tag to match the associated device.
