Parameter Name
Users and operators will reference the elements in a block by appending the parameter name to the Block Tag name, Blockname:parameter. You should pick a parameter name that will be meaningful to ordinary users and operators. Do not include blank spaces within your parameter name.
For example, a Foxboro 761 device:
TIC101:SP for the setpoint of a
Temperature controller,
TIC101:MEAS for the measurement,
TIC101:OUTP for the output of the primary
controller.
For Tags, this is the Parameter used as a template to create the tag. A custom point detail display can be configured for Tags by naming their Point Detail the same as the Parameter Name.
