4Tags
Objects connected to tags can change values in a controller, and controller values
can be reflected by changing object appearance in various ways. Objects in a screen
will remain static until connected to a t ag.
A tag has a symbolic name and can be of different data types.
Tags can belong to a connected controller, be internal or belong to the system.
Internal tags are used to handle local data values, and can be viewed and treated in
screens just like regular controller tags.
The global tag list provides an overview of all used tags, regardless of controller.
This makes it easy to develop projects that can be used with a variety of controllers.
It is also possible to connect a tag to more than one controller simultaneously.
