How to create Tags in DeltaV (Exploring DeltaV)?

Hey 

I am a student in my final year and am using DeltaV in my project 

I want to know how to create tags in the DeltaV system?

i am trying to create tags and use them later in the DeltaV Operate Configure HMI

I want to use these tags to store data that i am reading from OPC DataHub through Tunnel/mirror.

I know how to create tags for I/O but what i want to know is that , is it possible to create internal tags in DeltaV that are not associate with I/O?

Thanks

  • If you know how to use the IO tags once you have created them, i.e. in the control module, then you already know how to create tags.

    Any parameter within a module is addressable in the HMI, in other words, these parameters are the tags.  Create a new module, add a parameter to it, assign it to a cont/workstation and download.  You can then point the HMI to that parameter (tag).  DVSYS.YOURMODULE/PARAMETER.F_CV (if float).

    does that make sense?

  • As Adrian mentioned, once you create the parameter in the module you can use it in the HMI.  The custom parameters you seek are in the "Special Items" group of the Control Studio palette.  Parameters can be internal (referenced or "wired" only inside the module) or external (provides "wiring points" to connect to other function blocks or modules in more complex logic).  Commonly your OPC points would read/write to a "landing module" containing those special item parameters.
