How to Import Tags

  1. Add Driver and Open Tag Manager

    Click [New] to add [CODESYS V2 (Symbolic Addressing) (Ethernet)] driver, and then click [Tag Manager].
  2. Select and Import SYM_XML Tag File

    Select [Get Tags] » [Import Tags], and then select the Tag (.SYM_XML) to be imported.
    Tag Manager toolbar showing the Import Tags option selected from the Get Tags dropdown menu.
  1. The successfully imported tags will be listed in a table. If any unsupported data type exists, a warning message will show in [Import Status] field.
Tag Manager window showing an imported variable list with symbols, data types, and Import Status field displaying invalid array declaration warnings.

NOTE: Generate *.SYM_XML

Generate SYM_XML File

Generate `*.SYM_XML`

  1. Enable Symbol Configuration Options
