SPT Library Parameters

Parameters are a special type of Constant Global Variable, but can be changed in the library. Parameters are used to set the various array sizes and properties which need to be fixed, but can vary from one machine or project to another.

SPT Base Types

Parameters_BaseComponent:

    COMPONENT_BASE_ALARM_COUNT : UINT := 2; // Max array size for base alarms
    INHIBIT_SIMULATION_WARNING : BOOL := FALSE; // Disables simulation warning messages

    COMPONENT_NAME_DELIMETER          : STRING(10)                 := ' '; // Delimeter for component name
    STATELOGGER_DISABLED              : BOOL                       := FALSE; // When FALSE, all PackML State Changes will be logged
    RESET_COMPONENTS_WITHOUT_ERROR    : BOOL                       := FALSE; // When TRUE, all components will be reset even if no error is present
