Adding a New Tag
In the Tag Database, perform the following steps to add a new tag:
1. Click the Add button to display the Add Tag dialog box:
2. Node Name: click on the list to select the node (i.e. internal memory or PLC
communications driver attached to the COM/Ethernet ports) where the target address
is located
3. Tag Name: enter a name that you wish to assign to the tag address (max 40 characters)
4. Register/Coil Type: click on the list to select the proper memory address. Each listing
corresponds to a specific memory type within the HMC7000 or an external PLC (for
more information on PLC memory types, download the Controller Information Sheet
from our website). The Read/Write (Read Only) descriptor indicates if selected memory
area can be written to by the HMC7000.
5. Tag Type: options are Register and Coil/Bit Addressed Register. If both options are
available then the memory area selected is interpreted by the HMC7000 as either a data
register or a bit.
6. Coil/Register: The first field (Size: 2 bytes, 1 bit, etc.) indicates how much memory is
allocated to each address in this memory range. The enclosed address underneath
represents the particular address targeted after entries are made in the ‘address input’
fields located to the right. Below are some examples:
