Here's an alternative view.  I put as little code as practical in the embedded component, typically a call to a procedure, possibly with an argument that identifies the embedded component.  The functionality is contained in the procedure, an export of a module. As an example, a button may contain 

  _App:-btnLoadSystem();

while the startup region may contain

  _App := SomePackage:

where SomePackage is the name of a module that is saved in a Maple archive (mla). An advantage of this approach is that it's a lot easier to maintain the code. This may be overkill for your usage. A hybrid approach would be to insert the Maple code that defines the module into the startup region.

Followup The OP asked for an example. Here it is: DoubtOnLatestCodesinEmbeddedPlotAlt.mw. I modified his original to use a package assigned in the startup region, and included a call to with so that the package exports, used by the sliders, can be accessed without referring to the package name.  While I don't always use with, one advantage to doing so is that the code in the embedded components is then, essentially, inert and error-free until the package is assigned.  Otherwise, if MyApp:-ChangeA() was inserted as the code for the A slider, any time the slider was clicked an error would be raised (and raised repeatedly, making it a pain to fix) stating that MyApp was not a module.

For complicated applications, using a single procedure call in an embedded component has a lot of practical advantages.  One of them is that it facilitates debugging.  For example, in the worksheet you can add and execute the line

stopat(ChangeA):

then, when you move the A slider, the Maple debugger will be launched and you can step through ChangeA and, if desired, its call to UpdatePlot.

This happens because V, the formal parameter to your switch procedure, is passed a mutable object.  In the body of the procedure, the assignment W := V makes W point to the same structure that V points to.  So any changes in the procedure to W affects V. To avoid that you could use copy, for example, W := copy(V).  If V itself contains mutable structures you might do W := copy(V, 'deep'), where the deep option tells copy to recursively copy its content.

 Here's a more general way to reverse the content of a 1D rtable.

Reverse := proc(a :: rtable
                , { inplace :: truefalse := false }
                , $
               )
local b,i;
    if not a :: 'rtable(1..)' then
        error "expecting one-dimensional rtable that starts at one";
    elif inplace then
        b := a;
    else
        b := copy(a);
    end if;
    for i to iquo(upperbound(a),2) do
        (b[i],b[-i]) := (a[-i],a[i]);
    end do;
    b;
end proc:

I'd generally encode that as follows. Note the use of the remember option; that makes the operation much more efficient as previous results are reused.

v := proc(a)
option remember;
    v(a-1) + 6*v(a-2);
end proc:

# Assign the initial values (this writes to v's remember table)
v(1) := 1:
v(2) := 2:

for k to 20 do
    printf("v(%d) = %d\n", k, v(k) );
end do:

There is no formal parameter for the second positional argument. The dsolve routine does its own parameter processing and uses _rest, etc., to access the undeclared parameters. This might be because dsolve has been around for a long time and existed in some form before a lot of improvements to Maple's parameter processing were implemented. In this case, though, I suspect it has more to do with the second argument being optional.  An alternative would be to declare the second argument and give it a special default value then check for that, however, that isn't any better and the older code did the equivalent in a slightly different manner.

Followup

I'd change this to an answer, rather than a reply, if I knew how (thanks whoever did so).  The real confusion you are seeing is that you are using _nparams, rather than nargs or _npassed (a synonym). The _nparams value is based on the number of declared (formal) parameters, not the number of passed arguments.

I don't know what you want to plot; could you explain. That aside, the code can be slightly restructured to improve it.  Also, you might want to make H, etc. Vectors and Matrices rather than implicitly declared tables.

restart;
alpha := 0:
beta := 2:
Imax := 11:
Jmax := 11:
L := 10:
`Δζ` := L/(Imax-1):

`Δx` := `Δζ`:
`Δη` := 1/(Jmax-1):

x := Vector(Imax):
H := Vector(Imax):
H1 := Vector(Imax):
H2 := Vector(Imax):
y := Matrix(Imax,Jmax):
Y := Matrix(Imax,Jmax):

printlevel := 2:
for i to Imax do
    x[i] := `Δζ`*(i-1);
    H[i] := 3+2*tanh(x[i]-6);
    H1[i] := 0;
    H2[i] := -H[i];
    for j to Jmax do
        eta[j] := `Δη`*(j-1);
        z := (eta[j]-alpha)*ln((beta+1)/(beta-1))/(1-alpha);
        y[i, j] := -H[i]*(2*beta/(exp(z)+1)-beta-2*alpha)/(2*alpha+1);
        Y[i, j] := (H1[i]+(-H1[i]*x[i]+H2[i])/L)*eta[j]
    end do
end do:

Here's a different approach that doesn't allocate extra memory (doesn't generate new sets).

fnd := false:
for v in L2 do
    for e in L1 do 
        fnd := member(v,e); 
    until fnd; 
until fnd:

On exit, the variable fnd is assigned true if a vertex was found.  If true, e and v will be assigned the first edge and vertex found with v in e, which might be useful.

The problem is that the set S contains y[14], which is a procedure.  Fix the assignment to x[2], the reference to y[14] does not include the parentheses and argument.

The best approach depends on what you want to do with the result. 

Let nx be a piecewise whose condition is some arbitrary relation.

(**) nx := piecewise(x > 0, +1, -1);
(**) y := nx^n:
(**) simplify(y) assuming n :: even;                                                                                             
                                   1                               
(**) simplify(y) assuming n :: odd;                                                   
                                  { -1        x <= 0
                                  {
                                  { 1         0 < x

Another approach is to use a set to represent the possible values.

(**) nx := {+1,-1};                                                                   
                                    nx := {-1, 1}

(**) y := nx^~n;                                                                      
                                                n
                                   y := {1, (-1) }

(**) simplify(y) assuming n :: even;                                                  
                                         {1}

(**) simplify(y) assuming n :: odd;                                                   
                                       {-1, 1}

While I suspect that neither of these is what you're looking for, note that you can do

(**) nx := piecewise(x<0,-1,1):
(**) hx := convert(nx, Heaviside);
                             hx := 2 Heaviside(x) - 1

(**) y := hx^n;
                                                     n
                            y := (2 Heaviside(x) - 1)

(**) simplify(y) assuming n :: even;
                                         1

(**) simplify(y) assuming n :: odd;
                                2 Heaviside(x) - 1

To generate the probability correctly, you need to generate all permutations of the 9 digits.

with(Iterator):
F := Permute(1..9):
picks := [seq(add(add(10^(i-1)*f[i+j],i=1..3),j=0..8,3),f = F)]:
rng := (min..max)(picks);
                        rng := 774 .. 2556
# Find unique values
vals := convert(picks,set):
num := numelems(vals);
                           num := 199
# Determine entry that occurs the most
A := Array(rng):
for val in picks do A[val] := A[val]+1; end do:
imax := max[index](A);
                          imax := 1764
A[imax];
                              3888

Further While it is mostly pointless here, a better technique would be to avoid generating all the picks as a list.

T := table(sparse):
for f in F do
   val := add(add(10^(i-1)*f[i+j],i=1..3),j=0..8,3);
   T[val] := T[val] + 1;
end do:

A downside is that it is a little less convenient to find the max entry and associated value, however, because there are multiple indices with the same entry, we need to do this, regardless.

vmax := max(entries(T,'nolist'));
                                  vmax := 3888
for i in [indices(T,'nolist')] do 
    if T[i] = vmax then print(i) end if 
end do:
                              1755
                              1638
                              1656
                              1764
                              1692
                              1674
                              1566
                              1575

Those agree with the values you listed.

The Statistics package could be used here

with(Statistics):
X := RandomVariable(EmpiricalDistribution(picks)):
Mean(X);
                              1665
Mode(X);
                              1566
Median(X);
                              1665
S := Sample(X,1000):
Histogram(S,'discrete');

To remove identities I usually go with

remove(evalb,EQI__4);

I don't get that error, but rather 

cannot determine if this expression is true or false: .7444168734e-1*p < -.5300353358*p+1.578268991

That comes from using ai in the condition ai>aineg (and elsewhere), with p unassigned. I suspect that at some point you assigned NULL to p.

Is this what you want to do

proc()
local ex, exnum, xnum, ynum; 
uses DocumentTools;
    xnum := parse(GetProperty("TextArea0", "value"));
    ynum := parse(GetProperty("TextArea1", "value"));
    ex := GetProperty("MathContainer0", "expression");
    exnum := eval(ex, ['x'=xnum, 'y'=ynum]);
    SetProperty("TextArea2", "value", exnum);
end();

You can use the second equation to eliminate M__Revolute(t) from the first. Open a Worksheet template and do

A := MapleSim:-LinkModel():
A:-SetSubsystemName(""):
A:-SetSubstitutions([`Main.SpringDamper.c` = c__SpriD, `Main.SpringDamper.d` = d__SpriD, `Main.SpringDamper.phi_rel0` = PhiR0__SpriD, `Main.Revolute.M`(t) = M__Revolute(t), `Main.Revolute.theta`(t) = theta__Revolute(t)], 'nocheck'):
eqs := A:-GetEquations('output' = 'all', 'inputs' = {}, 'filter' = [], 'simplify' = true, 'params' = {`Main.SpringDamper.c`, `Main.SpringDamper.d`}):
dae := eqs[1];
subs(isolate(dae[2],M__Revolute(t)), dae[1]);

UseHardwareFloats is a Maple environment variable.  As such, it gets reset to its previous value when the procedure that assigned it (ModuleLoad) exits.. 

Use the fouriercos and fouriersin procedures in the inttrans package.  Use piecewise to create the expression you want to transform. For example

with(inttrans): # load the inttrans package
y := piecewise(t < 1, exp(t), 1);
fouriercos(y, t, s);
