Data access control

1. In the Controller Organizer, right-click Controller Tags and then click

Edit Tags.

In the Tag Editor, select the check box in the Constant column.

Important:

In the Tag Monitor, the Constant setting for the tag appears in the same Constant column as shown

in the previous illustration. However, you cannot change the value.
The Constant column also is available on the Equipment Phase Tag Editor and Equipment Phase Tag

Monitor.

The state of the Constant check box depends on a number of conditions.

• The tag’s data type is not a data table-backed type.
• The tag is used in an Add-On Instruction as an input parameter, output parameter, or local tag.
• Redundancy controller is in any state that does not allow changes.
