Tag Naming for I/O Data:
Rockwell Automation system solutions provide
tag names that are based on the Allen-Bradley sensor connected. I/O data is
converted, formatted, and named based on the Allen-Bradley sensor applied.
Reduces commissioning time by the OEM and reduces troubleshooting time
by the end user when searching for sensor data. Consistent naming techniques
used.
The Triggered and Margin Status that is previously shown are examples of
consistent tag names that are used across all Allen-Bradley sensors. These tags
give insightful and descriptive meaning to the operation of the sensor output.
The tags may change depending on the type of sensor being used and the
functionality within the sensor.
