Chapter 8 – Creating and Using Databases and Languages
EasyBuilder includes the ability to create and use both a Tag Database Library and a Label Database Library. The Tag
Library is a database of PLC register addresses. Once created, the Tag Database allows individual object address
assigning through Tag selection from the Tag Library. The Label Library is a database of text labels. Once created, the
Label Database allows individual object text labeling through Label selection 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. EasyBuilder 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.
