Tags
Tags refer to individual data objects in the controllers that can be transferred to
another controller.
Tags can be created and deleted, but cannot be modified. In the Configuration
Editor tree, each controller contains a node named Tags. When you select the
Tags node under any controller, in the content pane a table is displayed
containing all of the Tags currently defined for that controller. The read/write
status of a tag is shown in the last column as a "Read Only" check box. If the
Read Only check box is selected, you cannot use this tag as as a destination in a
transfer list.
When the Tags node is selected, you can add or delete Tags from the controller.
Click N
EW
to create a new Tag. Click the Delete button to delete the selected
Tag.
For ControlLogix PACs, the actual Tags in the controller are enumerated.
From this enumeration, the user can select which tags to reference in the
module. See also New Tag dialog box (ControlLogix/CompactLogix/Flex
Logix).
For PLC 5, MicroLogix and SLC processors, Tags are created to access
various indexes in the controller files (PLC 5, MicroLogix and SLC). See also
New Tag dialog box (PLC 5, MicroLogix and SLC).
For Siemens S7 and Schneider Electric Quantum PLCs, the tag references
must be entered by the user. Automated enumeration is not supported. See
also New Tag dialog box (Siemens S7) and New Tag dialog box (Schneider
Electric Quantum PLCs).
You must be logged on as a user with Project or Administrator privilege to modify
the module's data transfer configuration.
See also Configuration Editor.
This option allows you to set up transfer lists and these can now be transferred to
other interface devices using other diagnostics tags used in transfer lists. For
additional information for how to use these tags, see Transferring Internal
Diagnostic
Tags.
