Logix Designer v26.01 & FactoryTalk View Studio v8.00

3 posts in this topic

Quick question, but can Factorytalk View Studio read the tag descriptions in Logix designer. I would like to make the alarms just read the PLC tag descriptions and since the comments are now stored on the PLC, I am wondering if we have access to them from the HMI...

Thanks in advance.

I am not aware of FTView ME or SE having the ability to read anything other than tagnames and tag values.  If it is not possible, an alternative is to re-write your tagnames to include tag descriptions.  I believe the limitation is a high number of characters, so you could construct a lengthy tag name.
