I know this is an old thread but I have problems following our customer demand for tag format when tagging parametric plc units. The customer wants to tag for instance digital input modules according to following:
-6D051 where
6 =%A (Section)
D =FAMILY
05= sheet no.
1 = Line reference
As can be seen on the attached image I´m not getting the correct result by changing the TAG format in the plc database editor. I have also tried %A%D%S%N but either way I´m not getting the correct result.
Any comments appreciated.
Regards, Gary
Gary,
%F is the family variable. Try that instead.
Hello Bob and thank´s for the hint.
One thing I´m not clear on is if I use the family attribute, where can I define the default Tag-character for the family in this case PLC. If I use the family attribute, %F the module is tagged with nothing that is, I get correct values in for the section, page no. and line reference but nothing for for %F ??
Help...

I did not want to leave you hanging. My ability to help is pretty limited right now because I do not have access to ACE. Maybe one of the other users here can chime in.
Thank´s again Bob. Hope somone else is following this thread.
