When DBA maps an OSx tag to PCS 7 it creates a PCS 7 tag
structure with some number of external and internal tags. This is
because some OSx tag attributes are not networkable. Different
OSx tag types produce different numbers of external and internal
tags.
The table below shows how many external tags are created for tags
of each OSx tag type. This information determines how large a PCS
7 tag license must be purchased for the new PCS 7 system.
Multiply the total number of networked OSx tags for each tag type
by the number of external PCS 7 tags to which that type maps and
add the totals. Then add some amount for future external tags
created on PCS 7. You will need to purchase the next higher license
number for PCS 7.
