Special TagName Properties

 

The TagName property is an identifier that originally had to be unique for every component.  When Events went to the grid configuration for Modbus settings, the TagName property no longer had to be unique.   The TagName property became available for special purposes.

 

 

We are using the TagName to set special properties for some components.  The Annunciator uses the TagName property to show the data value as well as a text message.  The Edit box and other controls use the TagName property for limiting access and allowing access to this control when no user is logged on.

 

 

These special properties were add to the TagName property so that older systems would still be compatible with newer changes.  If a special property is defined it will be listed in the component's definition.
