Creating Control List Selectors and Tags

Publication 2711E-818 – January 1998

2. Choose New Tag.

The Tag Editor appears.

You’re ready to create the new tag.

To create the new tag:

1. The cursor is in the Name field. Type

Stapler_Button

.

2. Click the arrow beside the Type field and choose Digital from the

drop-down list. Usually you would choose Analog for Control
List Selectors, but because this Control List Selector has only two
values, choose Digital. A digital tag can accommodate only the
values 0 and 1.

You don’t need to change any of the default values in the editor,
except for the address. In the Address field you must enter the
PLC address for this tag. (In a new application you would have to
define the rack and word definitions, but because this file was
converted, you can use the existing definitions.)
