Designate a constant in the Tag Editor

The Constant column in the Tag Editor lets you designate tags that cannot be

modified in the Logix Designer program. The Constant property applies to an

entire tag; all members of the tag take on the same setting. The Constant column
cells are blank for members of the constant tag.

An error message appears if you try to change the data type of a constant tag to a

data type that cannot be constant.

Follow these steps to add a constant value in the Tag Editor.
