What is a Tag Group?
This server allows tag groups to be added to the project. Tag groups are used to tailor the layout of OPC data into logical groupings that fit the application's needs. Tag groups allow multiple sets of identical tags to be added under the same device: this can be convenient when a single device handles a number of similar machine segments.
Adding a Tag Group
Tag groups are defined by the set of tags contained. Tag groups are defined by clicking on a device, right-clicking and choosing Edit | New Tag Group or through the Configuration API Service.
Tag group names are user-defined and should be logical for reporting and data analysis.
For information on reserved characters, refer to How To... Properly Name a Channel, Device, Tag, and Tag Group.Removing a Tag Group
To remove a tag from the project; select the tag and press Delete, click Edit | Delete, or use the Configuration API Service.
Displaying Tag Group Properties
To review the tag group properties, right-click on the tag group and select Properties.
To review the tag group properties of a specific tag group via the Configuration API, access the documentation channel endpoint.
