Transfer Tags

A transfer tag defines the data points that are common to all the connections associated with a transfer class. Each automatically defined transfer tag generates a set of connection tags for each member in the transfer class. For example, if there are three connections in a transfer and one transfer tag is entered, three connection tags are created; one for each connection in the transfer class. Each of these connection tags correspond to a specific address in a control system. Transfer tags are indirectly associated with the control system by way of the connection tags that they create.

Transfer tags are abstract in nature; that is, they are not directly associated with the control system. They represent a set of connection tags. Transfer tags become connection tags when a batch is executed in a process. Transfer tags may be used as part of recipe transition logic.
