Data Entry Limits 1 High and low limits of data stored at tag address
1 Fields display only if data type is 4BCD, Signed/Unsigned Integer, or IEEE Float.
Tags used by the DH-485 or DH+ application are stored in a tag
database that is referenced by the project name GS. The GS project
has 9 tags.
Tags used by the Remote I/O application are stored in a database
referenced by the project GSRIO. The GSRIO project has 12 tags.
