When I click on this button:

That should be passing these parameters (Note the hard coded BMS 1):

It populates this table with banks 3&4:

If I go to the designer and input BMS 1 it populates the correct banks:

To me, that says there is a breakdown between the button and the view it is navigating to. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

So you have a view with a parameter `PLC`, and you're passing this as the values for the embedded view's parameters `PLC` and `MB_PLC` ?  
Check that this original `PLC` parameter is what you think it is.

edit: Wait, I missed the part about the hardcoded parameter.  
What happens if you remove the values from the `MB_PLC` and `PLC` parameters in the designer ?

Yes, as Victor notes, I believe hardcoded parameters passed through the navigation event are strings, but the one you put in the designer is an int. This is likely the issue.
