Entering Application Tags Chapter 5

Enter Application Tags

For all communication protocols enter the tags in the worksheet. Each
worksheet tab shows the name of the protocol for which you are
creating tags. For DeviceNet, make sure you click the DNet - IO Slave
tab before entering tags. For Ethernet, click the ENet - Controller
Address tab.

Follow these steps to enter tags and define their attributes. Tags are
shown for DH+; other protocols are similar.

1. Select View>Extended Attributes or click the Extended Attributes

tool to display the Initial, Minimum, Maximum, Offset and Scale
fields.

2. Select Edit>Insert Tag or click the Insert Tag tool on the toolbar.

3. Double-click in the Tag Name field and type Start_Motor.

4. Click on the arrow in the Data Type field and select Bit.

5. Double-click in the Address field and type B3:0/0.

IMPORTANT

When working with a Character Array using a string (ST) data
file, address the tag to the second offset in the data file, for
example, ST9:0.1.
