In Rockwell AOIs, a BOOL Output parameter with the same name as the AOI is added at the end of the "Parameters" list. This parameter is described as a "Unique Parameter Name for auto-discovery." Can anyone explain the purpose of this and why it is done? I am considering implementing this in our custom AOIs for potential benefits. Thank you. -AREDA
Rockwell Automation offers a range of undisclosed features, especially when it comes to its PlantPAX system. These features may be related to their innovative PlantPAX configuration tools, which utilize unique parameters to organize variable names within Excel sheets. While I have pondered this myself, I have yet to fully explore its potential functionalities.
