Property Tags
Property Tags
Property tags are used to provide read-only access to tag properties for client applications. To access a tag property, append the property name to the fully qualified tag address that has been defined in the server's tag database. For more information, refer to Tag Properties — General.
 
If the fully qualified tag address is "Channel1.Device1.Tag1," its description can be accessed by appending the description property as "Channel1.Device1.Tag1._Description".
