Section 3 Parameter Interface
The parameters of Control Modules and Function Blocks should follow the naming
and usage convention described in this section. It will be easier for the application
programmer to understand the purpose of the different parameters found in each
object’s connection list.
Naming Convention
It is important to have a standard for naming libraries, object types, data types,
parameters, etc. For example, a control module type or a parameter with a standard
name should always represent a specific function. This means that a user can
connect the right variables and use the correct control module without knowing the
exact function of their respective types.
When designing an object type, an excessive length of the name of one or a few
parameters should not be allowed if it increases the total width of the object type
graphical symbol considerably. This will be discussed more thoroughly in Section 4,
Engineering Interface. In exceptional cases, longer names than specified below are
allowed. In general, whenever a rule cannot be applied strictly, common sense
should be used.
If names contain a part that is an abbreviation, for example MMS, these
abbreviations should be written in capital letters.
Compound Words and Abbreviations
The following usage order is recommended:
1. Use the full name
2. Use the short name
