Creating tags using the RSView32 Object
Model and VBA
You can use the RSView32 Object Model with programming
languages like Visual Basic
® or VBA to create tags. For more
information about using the RSView32 Object Model, see Help.
Adding alarms to tags
Analog and digital tags can have alarms associated with them. At
runtime, RSView32 scans the tag values in the tag database and
compares them to the limits you set for the tags. If a tag value crosses
a limit, an alarm is triggered.
When a tag has an alarm configured for it, an X appears in the Alm
column of the Tag Database editor’s spreadsheet and the Alarm
button in the editor’s form is highlighted (enabled).
For details about alarms, see Chapter 6, Configuring alarms.
