Tag Alias

When fitting tags to genies and supergenies, there comes a problem where the original tag name is not compatible with the genie.  Normal way around this used to be to address a second tag to the same Modbus Address. 

I seem to remember a method of aliasing tags, but I am not finding it.  I see where it can be done in code, but not as part of the tag.

Adding calculated tags could work in this case, and would have the advantage that they could be rescaled as necessary.  In most cases, this is not needed.

Is there another way to alias tags that I am missing?

  • In addition to creating duplicate tag definitions with different names, or calculated variables, you could also use Labels. When Citect compiles the project, it replaces the label name with the label value (the actual tag name) in the compiled version of the page. I'm not sure if that would work for you, depending on how you use the tag in the genie/super genie.
