Importing tags - Manual - Ethernet IP Connector - Industrial Edge - Industrial Edge App

You can import tags using a JSON configuration file in the Common Configurator.

This approach is more practical for configuring a large number of tags because you can create or extend the needed configuration files using scripts.

Requirement

• Create a configuration file for Ethernet IP Connector containing the tags to be imported. Refer to the example configuration file in the appendix: Example configuration file.

Procedure

To import tags using a configuration file, follow these steps:

1. Open the Get Data tab.
   The available connectors appear.
2. Click the Ethernet IP Connector tile.
   The Overview page opens.
3. Open the Tags tab.
4. Click Restore.
5. Select your configuration file.
   The tags are imported.
6. Select the tags and deploy them.

Result

You are imported and deployed the tags in the configuration file.
