9.3. Associating the Tag Data Links
Tag data link parameters are required to perform tag data links with a destination device.
Follow the procedures below to associate the tag data links.
(1)Define the global variables to publish on the network by using the Sysmac Studio.
Store the created global variables in a CSV file to use in the Network Configurator.
(2)Read the CSV file (tag list) created in step 1 to the Network Configurator.
(3)Install the EDS file for the destination device in the Network Configurator.
(4)Make a single tag set that includes the tag lists.
(5)Link the tag set with the destination device information and create tag data link
parameters.
The numbers shown in the tables below correspond to the steps above.
