Tag Alias

Michael

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?

  • If you allocate the required tags to equipment, then you can specify the items in a consistent fashion.  The processis described in the help for situational awareness projects, however the concept is equally valid regardless.

    Situational Awareness Projects > Configure Your Project > Create Variable Tags

    To generate tags for an upgraded project:
    1.In the Equipment Editor, build your equipment hierarchy in the right pane. To do this, right click and select New Equipment. The Add New Equipment dialog box is displayed.
    2.Specify the Name and Project.
    3.Leave the Type as "No type".
    4.Click OK.
    5.In Citect Studio, navigate to the System Model Activity. Select Equipment.
    6.Use the column filtering options to filter the tag names for a piece of equipment.
    7.Add the equipment name as specified in the Equipment Editor in step 2.
    8.Add the item name for the equipment. Items Names should be the same as the Items displayed in the Equipment Editor, Equipment Types tab.
    9.Create the required graphics pages with the equipment.
    10.Configure the required content types.
