Tag
A tag is a defined memory location to which values can be written and from which values can
be read. This can be done from the controller or the HMI device. We distinguish between
external tags (process tags) and internal tags, depending on whether or not the tag is
interconnected with the controller.
Transfer
Transfer of a runtime project from the configuration PC to the HMI device.
