The Tags from current project list displays Tags and folders already in the current project. The Tags available from driver list displays a tree with Tags provided by this Driver. To create a new Tag in an application, drag one of the Driver-defined Tags to the desired folder on the current directory. The Ansaldo STS MicrolokII Driver provides the following nodes on this tree view:

An IOKit node that displays all Tags supported by IOKit, grouped into the following categories:

General: Tags for general use

Modem: Tags for manipulating communication via modem

Ethernet: Tags for manipulating communication via Ethernet network

Parameters: Tags for configuring IOKit parameters

The Microlok II peer station # node contains folders StationData, MyData, and Control, with their respective Tags. Each one of these folders contains Block or PLC Tags. There is one such node for each peer Station registered in this Driver's properties window. For more information, please check topic Configuring Properties

 

The Tag Browser for Ansaldo STS MicrolokII Driver aims to automate the configuration of Tags, assisting the loading and configuration of Tags available for a device, and can be loaded as many devices as needed by a project, so that each of these devices is configured by its respective value of destination address.
