Tag Descriptions
« on: September 09, 2022, 09:39:33 AM »
This is a strange one... but I have been finding soo much good uses for this fantastic tool that I have a new request I wasn't sure if it could be done. Are you able to utlize the Ethernet/IP Driver for CLX to write Tag Descriptions? Not just the tag values.  Like the comment to the tag as well?

Yeah kind of. We are using AHMI to display some Fault Pareto's on a screen so the managers and maintenance can determine which issues to work on first. Aka, the squeeky wheel gets the grease first.

So yeah in the logic there are 1000's of tags and we would like to make a program to iterate through a csv file and write values to tag Descriptions if it's possible. I can handle everything, but don't know if the driver even allows it.

@Archie  Do you know?
