Creating custom tags

Power Operation comes with most of the tags that are needed for each device type. However, you can create custom tags to assign to device types and device profiles. A custom tag is a unique measurement that is assigned to a device type, or is an existing tag for which the tag address is changed. You can also edit address attributes for any tag.

NOTE: To avoid potential communication errors, use the Profile Editor to create all custom tags that will communicate with equipment.

To create a custom tag:

1. In Profile Editor > Define Device Type Tags pane, click Add/Edit and then click Add/Edit Custom Tags.
2. Enter the information for the new tag.

TIP: On the Add / Edit Custom Tags screen, click the help link (?) at the top right of the screen. The help leads you through adding, editing, or deleting custom tags.
