Tag Reference

All tags follow the same setting:

Device: Organization/Site

Item: StreamName

 

The driver offers the TagBrowser functions, which allows to list the Organizations, Sites and Streams found at the Server (to the right of the window), which can be dragged and dropped to the driver (to the left).

Organizations are site groups, and site is the name of a place where a DataLogger device is installed.

At this driver, the sites that don´t belong to an Organization will be placed in a ficticious organization called "NoOrg", just to keep the address format.

Inside a site (device), it will show the streams, which can be associated to IOTags.

 

Example of a Tag Addressing:

Device: MyOrg/Device1234

Item: Pressure

 

There are some reserved tags:

Latitude and Longitude: To receive the GPS information of a site (Latitude and Longitude), in this case you need to inform at each tag Item the values "GPSLat" and "GPSLon" respectively. These tags will be updated at the interval defined at the property  "Site GPS Scan (s)". The Device field shall be configured the as default (Organization/Site).

Connection Status with Schneider API: You can create a tag with the text "APIStatus" at Item field. The device field shall be empty.

Important notes:

1 - All tags are read-only.

2 - The tags which values are identified as numbers, will be returned as numbers (integers or real doubles). Tags containing alpha-numeric chars will be returned as strings.
