Tag Creation and Linking

An integral part of process modeling involves defining specific data points, called tags, for units, processes, connections, and transfers. Tags enable data to move between the batch system and the control system. You must define tags before you configure any of the batch system application modules. The number of tags allowed in the batch system is limited only by the amount of mass storage in the system.

When you create the process model, you create tags for units, connections, segments, phases, and phase parameters.

You must link the model and its tags to control system addresses using the AVEVA Batch Management TagLinker. The TagLinker provides automatic and manual linking of tags to external systems.
