Get tag values from the model variables

When you set model variables to screened tag values, AVEVA Process Simulation updates all the specified model variables to the Screened Value data in the External Data Manager and recalculates all the calculated model variables. The calculated model variables are typically associated with tag values that you need to send back to the external database.

However, AVEVA Process Simulation communicates only Tag Value data back to the external database to provide you a greater amount of control over the data that you send to your external databases. If you want to send the values of the model variables to the external database, you must first get the tag values from the model variables.

Get tag values from the model variables

1. Open the External Data Manager.

2. Select the tag collection that contains the tag values that you want to get from the model variables, and then select Transfer.

   The Read/Write External Data window appears.

3. In the Tag List section, in the Output Processing area, select Get.

   AVEVA Process Simulation copies the values for all the associated model variables (Sim Value) to the Tag Value data.

   The software also updates the Quality for the tag. If the solved status for the associated model variable shows a successful solve, the quality is good (green badge). Otherwise, the quality is bad (red badge).
