Chapter 8 – Creating and Using the Tag Library and Label Library
EZwarePlus includes the ability to create and use both a Tag Library and a Label Library. The Tag Library is a database
of PLC register addresses. Once created, the tag database provides a method for assigning addresses to individual
objects from the Tag Library. The Label Library is a database of text labels. Once created, the label database provides
a method for assigning labels to individual objects from the Label Library. The Label text may also be represented in
up to eight languages, each selectable for display.
Creating and Using the Tag Library
The Tag Library is a database of register addresses, with each tag representing a single address. EZwarePlus gives you
the option of using either Customized or System tags. Customized tags are tags that you build yourself. System tags
are predefined tags that allow access to certain built-in functions and settings. You can select whether you will be
using customized or system tags in the Address Tag Library dialog. The Tag listing does not contain display
information, as display attributes are set when the individual object using the Tag listing is created.
To create a Tag Database Library:
1. From the Library menu, click Tag..., or click the Address Tag Library Manager button from the Library toolbar.
The Address Tag Library dialog appears.
2. To create a new Tag listing, click the New… button to display the Tag dialog.
3. Enter the new Tag name. Tag names may be up to 100 characters, any character.
4. Select the PLC name: as configured in the Device Table from the drop-down menu.
