When setting a new tag, use the same settings as those used in the host (PLC) tag. If there is no tag in
the host, copy the tag that you create from the CX-Designer’s symbol table to the CX-Programmer’s
symbol table.

STRING variables and array variables cannot be created with the CX-Designer. Copy these variables
from the CX-Programmer’s symbol table.
