Field problem

Tag names can look self-explanatory while hiding scope, memory ownership, alias targets, external dependencies, and historical names needed for future support.

What is inside

  • Controller and program scope plus source revision records
  • Base-tag definitions with scope, type, dimensions, defaults, description, and owner
  • Alias-to-target mappings and external producer, consumer, HMI, SCADA, historian, gateway, and report relationships
  • Renamed, retired, and reserved tag cross-references with revision and migration ownership
