Chapter 2 Overview of Application
Application Tags The sample application requires only six tags. Tags are a group of
parameters that define a controller address. Each tag is identified by a
unique name.
The tags used in this application are assigned descriptive names. This
makes it easier to create and modify an application.
•
Start_Motor - assigned to the motor start button
•
Stop_Motor - assigned to the motor stop button
•
Motor_Status_Ind - assigned to the motor status indicator
•
Motor_Speed - assigned to the motor speed data display
•
Set_Max_Motor_Speed - assigned to the data entry display for
motor speed
•
Speed_Alarm - assigned to the trigger for the alarm banner
Tag information is entered in one of two ways.
•
Tag Form dialog - accessed from an object’s dialog by clicking
the Edit Tags button. This allows editing of all tag fields.
•
Tag Editor - accessed from the Tools menu or the System folder
in the Application window. The tag editor displays all of the
assigned tags within the application and allows editing of most
tag fields.
Each application requires slightly different tag information depending
on the communication protocol. Chapters 4 and 5 provide the
information you need for each terminal type along with instructions
for entering tags.
