How to Import Tag
The tags created in the Symbol Table in Step7-MicroWIN software can be imported to EBPro (EasyBuilder).
Copy tags from Symbol Table
In Step7-MicroWIN, open the Symbol Table and create your tags. Select all tags, right-click, and copy them.
Add driver and open Import Tag
Launch EBPro (EasyBuilder), add the Siemens S7-200 driver in the device list under System Parameter Settings, then click the Import Tag button.
Paste copied tags
In the Paste dialog, paste the tags copied from Step7-MicroWIN and click OK.
Select all tags and confirm
In the Add Tags dialog, select all tags and click OK.
Confirm import success
If the import succeeded, a confirmation message window appears.
