You create a tag that points to the Plant computer. In the tag’s Node
field, you assign the Plant_Computer node. In the tag’s Address field,
you enter
RejectCount
, which is the tag you want values for. The
information in the Address field is the OPC tag address.
When the RejectCount tag is used anywhere in the Supervisor
computer, it gets its value from the RejectCount tag in the Bottling
project on the Plant computer.
You can also write to the RejectCount tag in the Bottling project using
the RSView32 Set or = (Equal) commands (if writes are enabled in the
real-time data server on the Plant computer). The write will go
through to the programmable controller.
