Co-existence with Supertags

UDTs can co-exist with Supertags. You can create Supertags and UDTs with the same name. Supertag instances and UDT instances can work together or separately in scripting, animation, alarms, and trends.

Co-existence behavior is as follows:

• By default, Supertags view is off.

  • This applies to new applications as well to applications that are migrated to the latest release.

  • You can revert back to the Supertags view if desired.

• Supertags continue to use “\” syntax.

• Supertags continue to work the same as in System Platform 2023.

• There is no name collision between Supertag definitions and User Defined Types.

  • You can create Supertags and UDTs with the same name, for example, “Reactor”.

• Supertag instances and UDT instances can work together or separately in scripting, animation, alarms, and trend.

• There is no owning object support for Supertags. This means that there is no “me.” support for Supertags.
