Use the Object Finder to select integrated tags
After you have added a tag integration source to your project, the tags from that source can be viewed and selected in the Object Finder like any other project tags.
Icon | Description |
---|---|
Device tag information was extracted from a symbol file and then cached. | |
Device tag information is currently being received from a connected device. | |
Connection to device has failed. Tag information might not be up-to-date. |
The folder structure for each device is determined by the tag integration source, and the individual tags are listed to the right.
To refresh the devices and tag lists — either by rereading the symbol files or by trying to reconnect to the devices — click Refresh Devices on the right side of the window. All tag integration sources will be refreshed at the same time.
Tags listed in gray have not yet been imported into your project. When you select and import a tag — so that it is added to your project’s Shared Database folder — it is listed in black. You can select Show only imported tags to filter the list, in the event that you only need to get a tag that you have already imported and you do not want to scroll through the entire list to find it.
To quickly import multiple tags and add them all to the Shared Database folder, select them and then click Import Selected Tags. Importing tags in this way, however, will not configure the tags in a box or field. That can only be done one tag at a time, by selecting a tag and then clicking OK.
Changes in the tag integration might break tag references in your project. To find broken tag references, verify your project.
