Export Tags

Use Tag Linker to select tags and create a comma-separated variable (.csv) file of the configuration information. You can then import the contents of the .csv file into the InTouch HMI using the DBLoad utility. AVEVA Batch Management uses a dot (.) whereas InTouch supports only a hyphen as a delimiter in tag names. Before you load the AVEVA Batch Management tag names into InTouch, edit the .CSV file and replace the dot delimiters with hyphens.

In the InTouch HMI, you can define remote tag sources from which tags can be viewed and remotely referenced in an application. AVEVA Batch Management can be one of these external sources. If tags are remotely referenced, it is not necessary to use the DBLoad utility to import the AVEVA Batch Management tags from the exported .csv file.

Note: InTouch does not support tags that are greater than 32 characters or have names that contain dots (.). For details about the limitations of InTouch tag names, see the InTouch documentation.
