Using the Check Syntax button After you create an expression for a derived tag, use the Check Syntax button to verify that the syntax is correct. You can check the syntax of an expression at any time while the Derived Tags editor is open. If the syntax is invalid, an error appears next to the Check Syntax button. The syntax of the expression is also checked automatically when you click the Accept or Discard buttons. Using the Accept and Discard buttons When you enter information in the editor, the Prev and Next buttons change to Accept and Discard. Click Accept to save information. Click Discard to discard information that you just entered. Creating a derived tags component You can use any tag to store the result of a derived tag calculation. The tag must already exist, for example, as an HMI tag (i. e., memory or device) or in a data server, before you can use it as a derived tag. To create a derived tags component 1. In the Derived Tags editor, specify the tag that will hold the derived value and type a description of the tag. 2. In the Expression box, create an expression that will determine the derived tag’s value. For information about expressions, see Chapter 20, Creating expressions. 3. Click Accept. 4. Click Next to create another derived tag if the derived tags component is to contain more than one derived tag. 10–4 RSView Supervisory Edition User’s Guide
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until all derived tags for the particular component are defined. 6. Select Derived Tag Setup from the Setup menu. 7. In the Derived Tag Setup dialog box type a description of the component and specify a maximum update rate, and then click OK. 8. In the Derived Tag editor, click Close. 9. Specify the name of the derived tags component and then click OK. About the maximum update rate The maximum update rate is the fastest rate at which the value of any derived tag in the derived tag component can be updated. Expressions containing derived tags are evaluated only when the value of a tag or function in the expression changes. Set a maximum update rate for each derived tag component. The maximum update rate also determines the fastest rate at which data servers can send changes in tag values. Set the update rate as fast as, or faster than, the rate at which the values of tags used in the expressions change, unless it is desirable to miss changes in tag values. Starting and stopping derived tag processing There are many ways to start and stop derived tag processing. Choose the way that works best for the individual application. For distributed applications it is best to start derived tag processing using a server component such as the startup macro, or using even processing. Having clients start and stop derived tags is not advised as one client could stop processing that another client still requires. Creating derived tags 10–5
