Tag Address Formats

After migrating the project successfully, the following changes can be observed in tag addresses.

Controller Tags

• Controller Tags

  For the Tag address [OPCTOPIC] will be added to the tag address format.

  Example:

  ABCLX Tag address => TagAddress_00

  OPCLX Tag address => [OPCTOPIC]TagAddress_00

• Controller Array Tags

  If the Tag address contains "{}" braces it will be changed to the [] braces.

  Example

  ABCLX Tag address => TagAddress_00{100}

  OPCLX Tag address => [OPCTOPIC]TagAddress_00[100]

• Controller Array Tags referring to a particular bit in the array

  If the Tag address contains "/" character it will be changed to "." character.

  Example

  ABCLX Tag address => TagAddress_00{100}/5

  OPCLX Tag address => [OPCTOPIC]TagAddress_00[100].5

• Controller sub array tags

  If the Tag address contains "!A[<count>]" then it will be changed to ",L<Count>!A[<count>].

  Example

  ABCLX Tag address => TagAddress_00!A[5]

  OPCLX Tag address => [OPCTOPIC] TagAddress_00,L5!A[5]

• Controller sub array tags

  If the Tag address contains "/<startIndex>!A[<count>]" then it will be changed to "[startIndex],L<Count>!A[<count>].

  Example

  ABCLX Tag address => TagAddress_00/10!A[5]

  OPCLX Tag address => [OPCTOPIC] TagAddress_00[10],L5!A[5]

Program Tags

For FactoryTalk Tag address formats are:

• Program Tags

  ::[OPCTOPIC]PROGRAM:MainProgram.TagName

  Example:

  ABCLX Tag address => PROGRAM:MainProgram.TagAddress_00

  OPCLX Tag address => ::[OPCTOPIC]PROGRAM:MainProgram.TagAddress_00

• Program Array Tags

  ::[OPCTOPIC]PROGRAM:MainProgram.TagName

For RSLinx Classic Tagaddress formats are:

• Program Tags

  [OPCTOPIC]PROGRAM:MainProgram.TagAddress_00

  Example:

  ABCLX Tag address => PROGRAM:MainProgram.TagAddress_00

  OPCLX Tag address => [OPCTOPIC]PROGRAM:MainProgram.TagAddress_00

• Program Array Tags

  [OPCTOPIC]PROGRAM:MainProgram.TagName[ArraySize]

  Example:

  ABCLX Tag address => PROGRAM:MainProgram.TagName{10}

  OPCLX Tag address => [OPCTOPIC]PROGRAM:MainProgram.TagName[10]
