E3 version 2.0 and Elipse Power have a tool called Tag Browser, which allows a Driver to help users on creating and configuring Tags.

Tag Browser aims to automate Tag configuration by automatically filling the Item field and the proper size of Elements, if it is a Block Tag.

Tag Browser

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. Siemens MProt (MPI/PPI/ISO-TCP) Driver provides the following nodes on this tree view:

•The IOKit node displays Tags available on 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 Imported Tags node shows all Tags imported and saved on the Import Tags tab. This node only appears if there are actually imported Tags. In this case, this node contains a folder for each separate group of imported Tags. If there is a Data Block (DB), the Tags referring to the variables in this DB are grouped into one folder in reference to this DB. The other Tags are grouped into the PLC Tags folder
