Browsing for offline tags from RSLinx Enterprise
For each RSLinx Enterprise shortcut in an application, an Offline and Online folder is
shown in the Tag Browser.
Use the Offline folder to browse for tags in a PLC or Logix5000 program stored on disk.
If the shortcut in RSLinx Enterprise has access to symbols, you can also browse for them
in the Offline folder.
For details about browsing offline for tags or adding symbols to a shortcut in RSLinx
Enterprise, see the RSLinx Enterprise Help.
To browse an offline file in the Communication Setup dialog box
1. In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, double-click the RSLinx
Enterprise icon.
2. Double-click Communication Setup to open the RSLinx Enterprise Communication
Setup dialog box.
3. Click the Browse button beside Offline Tag File.
Browsing for offline tags from RSLinx Classic
For each RSLinx Classic topic in an application, an Offline and an Online folder is shown
in the Tag Browser.
Use the Offline folder to browse for tags in a PLC or Logix5000 program stored on disk.
If the RSLinx topic can gain access to symbols, you can also browse for the symbols in
the Offline folder.
For details about adding symbols to a topic in RSLinx, see the RSLinx Classic Help.
Browsing for offline tags from other OPC servers
To browse for offline tags from OPC servers other than RSLinx Classic, set up a data
server cache.
When you are not connected to the device, you will find the offline tags in the same Tag
Browser folder that contains the online tags. (In RSLinx, the offline tags are located in a
separate folder.)
For details about setting up and managing an OPC data server’s cache files, see “Setting
up advanced properties” on page 9-11.
Working with HMI tags
In FactoryTalk View SE, HMI servers have tag databases that can store HMI tags.
