New Parameter or Tag dialog box

Use the New Parameter or Tag
dialog to create program parameters or tags.

TIP: To open the New Parameter or Tag dialog:

In the Controller Organizer
, right-click the task where you want to add a tag or parameter and choose Add > New Local Tag
or Add > New Parameter
.

The settings that appear on this dialog depend upon the type of tag you are creating. This table describes the tags and parameters that you can create.

Tag type	Description
Base tag	A tag that defines the memory where a data element is stored. You can create base tags while the controller is online or offline if the new tag can be verified.
Alias tag	A tag that references memory that is defined by another tag. An alias tag may refer to another alias tag or to a base tag. An alias tag may also refer to memory within another tag by referencing a member of a structure tag
Produced tag	A tag that a controller makes available for use by other controllers. Produced tags are always at controller scope.
Consumed tag	A tag whose value comes from a remote controller. The local controller is the consumer, and the remote controller is the producer. Consumed tags are always at controller scope. You can create consumed tags only while the controller is offline.
