A5E00149249 8 1 Tips for efficient configuration Release 12 01 8 2 Using a tag in several fields Background Action If you use a tag on the operating unit in an input field and simultaneously in an output field this may result in unexpected display behavior The value of the tag at this address can be modified both by the PLC and by means of an input on the operating unit Example You enter a new value on the operating unit The output field is updated immediately with the new value In the meantime a value is read from the PLC which is still the old value The old value is then displayed briefly in the output field and in the input field While that is happening the new value is being transferred to the PLC The new value is then displayed in both fields upon the next update We recommend for this reason that you configure different tags for the input field and the output field 8 3 Tags with configured decimal places Special features when inputting limit values 8 2 Limit values for tags are entered without a point The constant for the limit value is interpreted differently depending on whether decimal places have been specified for the tag The number of specified decimal places determines how many places of the limit value are interpreted as decimal places The table shows an example Decimal places Limit Value Entered Interpreted by ProTool 1 22 5 227 95 ProTool User Manual How to configure text bas
