Adding a New Tag
In the Tag Database, perform the following steps to add a new tag:
1. Click the Add button to display the Add Tag dialog box:
2. Node Name: click on the list to select the node (i.e. internal memory or PLC
communications driver attached to the COM/Ethernet ports) where the target address
is located
3. Tag Name: enter a name that you wish to assign to the tag address (max 40 characters)
4. Register/Coil Type: click on the list to select the proper memory address. Each listing
corresponds to a specific memory type within the HMC7000 or an external PLC (for
more information on PLC memory types, download the Controller Information Sheet
from our website). The Read/Write (Read Only) descriptor indicates if selected memory
area can be written to by the HMC7000.
5. Tag Type: options are Register and Coil/Bit Addressed Register. If both options are
available then the memory area selected is interpreted by the HMC7000 as either a data
register or a bit.
6. Coil/Register: The first field (Size: 2 bytes, 1 bit, etc.) indicates how much memory is
allocated to each address in this memory range. The enclosed address underneath
fields located to the right. Below are some examples:
