CONFIGURING DATA TAGS
EDITING MULTI TAGS
• The Trigger Mode property is as described for the Alarm tabs.
• The Delay property is as described for a flag tag’s Alarms tab.
• The Action property is used to indicate what action should be performed when
the trigger is activated. Refer to the Writing Actions section for a description of
the syntax used to define the various actions that Crimson supports.
EDITING MULTI TAGS
You will recall that multi tags represent a 32-bit signed value, but are used to select between
one of a number of text strings. The following sections describe the various tabs that are
displayed on the right-hand side of the Data Tags window when editing a multi tag.
THE DATA TAB (VARIABLES)
The Data tab of a multi variable contains the following properties...
• The Mapping property is used to specify if the variable is to be mapped to a
register in a remote device, or if it exists only within the Master. If you press the
arrow button and select a device name from the resulting menu, you will be
presented with a dialog box that will allow a PLC register to be selected.
• The remainder of the properties are as described for the Data tab of flag tags.
