7.7 Tag Definition and Use
A tag is a name that is used to reference a piece of data. Tags are assigned to any register or coil available. All of the
registers and coils used in your application can be defined beforehand.
The Tag Library is an important part of a touchscreen’s project. All Part definitions can be linked to this Tag Library. There
are many advantages of a centralized library. You can change the tag data reference in the Tag Library, and all the
instances where the tag is used are updated.
The Tag Library dialog box is used to
define new tags and edit the properties of
existing tags. You can access this dialog
box by selecting
Tag…
from the Library
menu.
