Edit general information for a discrete tag

To edit general information for a discrete tag:

1. In the Operations Control Management Console, expand a server group and then expand a server.

2. Expand Configuration Editor, expand System Configuration, and then expand Tag Configuration.

3. Select Discrete Tags.

4. In the details pane, double-click the discrete tag to edit. The Properties dialog displays.

   

5. Select the General tab.

6. In the Description box, type a description of the tag.

7. In the Message Pair list, select the message pair to associate with the FALSE/TRUE states of the discrete tag.

   For information on adding a message pair to the system, see Configure message pairs.

8. In the Current Editor group, specify which application or editing environment controls the tag definition. Tags imported from the InTouch HMI software use InTouch as the current editor. If modifications are made to an imported tag in the Historian Configuration Editor, then the current editor for the tag is changed to AVEVA Historian. If a reimport is performed, any modifications made using the Configuration Editor are preserved. You can manually maintain InTouch as the current editor for reimporting; however, all changes made to the tag using the Configuration Editor are lost during the reimport. Tags (attributes) that are initially configured using AVEVA Application Server use the ArchestrA Integrated Development Environment (IDE) as the current editor. If you modify an Application Server tag using the Historian Configuration Editor, then the current editor for the tag is changed to AVEVA Historian. However, the next time you redeploy the engine, the changes are not preserved.

9. Click OK.
