20–24 Terminal and Communication Setup
Publication 2711-6.0
The PLC/SLC uses control tags to display specific screens and to
control the time/date on the PanelView terminal. The time and date
are updated every minute. The screen that the controller selects will
override the current PanelView screen and take the operator to the
current screen for that state of the operation.
To create or edit control tags:
1. Select the Control Tags tab in the Terminal Setup dialog.
2. Enter or select tag names for one or more control options. The
table below defines each option.
To clear a tag name field, highlight the text and press DELETE .
3. Click the Edit Tag button to edit the definition of a tag name or
edit the definition later using the Tag Editor.
4. Click OK to save the settings and exit the dialog.

 1999, subtract 1900
