After configuring the tags, select the tags you need and deploy them.
NOTE
Large quantities of tags
If too many tags are deployed and the required PLC performance is not available, not all tags are initialized. In this case, only the supported quantity of tags is initialized. You are informed of this in a status message or in the log files. The quality code of the tags that could not be initialized is set to bad. For example, if you deploy 1000 tags in a MicroLogix PLC with an acquisition cycle of 1 second, the PLC performance is strongly burdened and the connector allows only 100 tags.
Procedure
To deploy tags, follow these steps:
- Select the PLC and the tags you want to activate in the IIH:
- Click Deploy.
Result
The IIH generates the configuration file for Ethernet IP Connector in the background. The configuration file is sent directly to Ethernet IP Connector. You have now defined which tags are available for the IIH.
You can find the configuration file in the Management tab of the IED.
NOTE
No gRPC subscription
If you do not select Publish to Databus and you have no gRPC subscription, the connection status is shown as red (Bad). It turns green when data is successfully called.
