Application Parameters

Application parameters (Parameter Set Objects) are always linked to formula definitions from an IEC Development Environment. The naming of formula definitions is subject to the strict CODESYS rules (e.g., no spaces or special characters). Here however, you can rename the parameters and describe them in more detail. These settings will be visible later on the configuration screen of the corresponding application in WAGO Solution Builder.
