Topic 13.2.1: Super Tag

  • SuperTags

    • A SuperTag is a template structure of tags. The tags that belong to a SuperTag template are associated with the common properties of a component in a manufacturing process.
    • SuperTags save development time. Instead of creating a set of tags for every component in the manufacturing process, you can replicate a single SuperTag template and create individual instances for all process components that have the same properties.

  • Key Points
    • You can create, edit, and delete SuperTags in the Tagname Dictionary or in the TemplateMaker, which is a WindowMaker utility.
    • A SuperTag template can organize its member tags in two nesting levels. A SuperTag template can contain up to 64 embedded child tags. Each child tag can contain up to 64 sub-member tags.
    • All tags that belong to an instance of a SuperTag can be assigned as InTouch discrete, integer, real, and message data types. The tags within the SuperTag instance support trending, alarming, and all tag dotfields.
    • InTouch tag names can be a maximum of 32 characters. The format of a SuperTag name is:

      • ParentInstance\ChildMember\Sub-member
      • which must be 32 characters or fewer.
    • You can use the ArchestrA Bulk Import Utility to migrate SuperTags from the InTouch HMI into an Application Server object structure.
