3-22 ProcessLinx TagMap Configuration
• To add or edit a new translation value map for the selected translation
table, select Add.
Figure 3.5 Translation Value Dialog Box
Enter the given conversion values for either side of this translation.
Repeat the Add... step for all discrete values.
The example in Figure 3.4 shows two ProcessLogix discrete values
mapped to an External OPC Server. In ProcessLogix, the enumerated
values for auto and manual are 1 and 2 respectively, 1 and 0 in the
external system. This map sets the ProcessLogix Auto Mode Value (1)
to the External Value (1). It also sets the ProcessLogix Manual Value (2)
to the External Manual Value (0).
After the Translation table and value maps are setup, click OK and the
TagMap will be set to use this translation table. If o conversion map is
defined, the value is sent as-is to the other OPC Item defined in the
TagMap.
Editing a Pipe, Group or
