RSView32 User’s Guide

The I/O address syntax for the SLC 5/03 (OS301) and SLC 5/04 has
not changed. If you import a ControlView project that references I/Os
from these SLC types, ensure the Type field of the Node editor is set
to SLC 5 (Enhanced).

Tag database

In RSView32, group tags and structure tags are not supported.
Instead, folders are used to organize tags. In RSView32, a local tag is
called a memory tag.

Tag names can be up to 255 characters long. Separate the folder name
from the rest of the tag name with a backslash (\).

RSView32 comes with a set of system tags. These preconfigured tags
are in the folder called System in the Tag Database editor. For a
complete list of system tags, see Appendix B, System tags.

Trends

You cannot import a ControlView trend into RSView32. In
RSView32, trends are configured as part of a graphic display.

Real-time and historical trends are supported; x–y trends are not.

You can configure trends to be transparent, so one graph can be
placed over another. This lets you show a real-time trend over top of a
historical “ideal” trend to see when a variable deviates from normal.
