Manually Define Equipment Runtime Parameters

Equipment runtime parameters are a set of parameters that are passed into content pages as associations. For example, a sub-page with a faceplate that displays information for multiple pieces of equipment.

Note:  Equipment Runtime Parameters can be used with the AssEquipParameters and EquipGetParameter Cicode functions.

You can manually add equipment runtime parameters to a Citect SCADA project

To manually define an equipment runtime parameter:

1. In the System Model activity, select Equipment.
2. On the menu below the Command Bar, select Runtime Parameters.

The list of equipment runtime parameters will display in the Grid Editor.

3. Add a row to the Grid Editor.
4. Type the required information in each column, or in the Property Grid (see below for a description of the properties).
5. Click Save.
