In the Derived Tags editor, click Close.9. Specify the name of the derived tags component and then click OK.Using multiple derived tag componentsYou can create multiple derived tag components, for example, to group derived tags thatneed to be evaluated at different rates. Each HMI server in an distributed application canrun up to 20 derived tag components, with up to 1,000 tags in each component.About the maximum update rateThe maximum update rate is the fastest rate at which the value of any derived tag in thederived tag component can be updated. Expressions containing derived tags are evaluatedonly when the value of a tag or function in the expression changes.The maximum update rate also determines the fastest rate at which data servers can sendchanges in tag values. Set the update rate as fast as, or faster than, the rate at which thevalues of tags used in the expressions change, unless it is desirable to miss changes in tagvalues.Set a maximum update rate for each derived tag component.Starting and stopping derived tag processingThere are many ways to start and stop derived tag processing. Choose the way that worksbest for the individual application.For distributed applications, it is best to start derived tag processing using a servercomponent such as the startup macro, or using event processing. Using clients to start andstop derived tags processing is not advised, as one client might stop processing a derivedtags component that another client still requires.For an explanation of <strong>RSView</strong> command syntax, see Appendix A, <strong>RSView</strong> commands, orsee Help.Ways to start derived tag processingDistributed and stand-alone applications• In HMI Server Properties dialog, click the Components tab, select the Derived tagscheck box, and then select a derived tag component. The derived tag component willstart the next time the HMI server runs, or when the HMI server’s components arestarted manually.10-4
