Referencing and EM Class Module Block Binding

Hi All,

I have an interesting challenge that I'm wondering if anyone out there has any ideas on how to address.  

I have an Equipment Module Class, which has a number of Module Blocks in it.  The blocks are then bound to instances of class based modules, of course.

What we would like to do, simply stated for the sake of the forum, is to read the module name that is bound to a particular module block.  

The functional purpose would be to reference the string from the graphic to create a list of all modules bound to an equipment module.

If there would be 5 module blocks in a particular EM Class, an ACT block, in the Monitor (for a Command Driven EM) would be something like:

'^/PARAM1.CV' := '^/BLOCK1.[What?]'

'^/PARAM2.CV' := '^/BLOCK2/[What?]'

'^/PARAM3.CV' := '^/BLOCK3.[What?]'

'^/PARAM4.CV' := '^/BLOCK4.[What?]'

'^/PARAM5.CV' := '^/BLOCK5.[What?]'

Then we would like to read the value of PARAM1-PARAM5 on a graphic.

That [What?] is what I need help with.  No sure if this is available as a module level parameter in the block, or in the EM?  If it is considered an attribute that might be addressable?

Seems like this should be possible, but one of those DeltaV hidden tricks that might be known to those who've traveled different roads than mine.

Any ideas will be helpful and appreciated!  Thanks in advance!
