Section 3.3 Editing XML Tag Information

You normally modify tags through the software’s user interface. However, the
module uses an XML file format to save the tag mapping information. To save
time, you may also modify the XML file directly.

NOTE

When modifying XML directly, be sure to make a backup of your
original file first. Otherwise you may find errors or accidental
deletions of entries cause problems with your file. Once you save
the file, the changes are permanent.

NOTE

To expedite the tag mapping process, you may copy and paste
PLC tags from CCW directly into the XML window. Use this
feature when you are editing a large number of tags.

This module uses XML file format to save the tag mapping.

To view all the variables in the XML file:

1. Click Edit XML:

The Tags dialog appears with all the tags in the list in XML format:

2. If needed, manually modify individual entries in the XML file.
