Mvi56E-Mnetc Controller Tags - ProSoft Technology MVI56E-MNETC User Manual

Using Controller Tags
User Manual
The MVI56E-MNETC/MNETCXT Add-On Instruction is extensively commented
to provide information on the purpose and function of each user-defined data
type and controller tag. For most applications, the Add-On Instruction works
without needing any modification.

3.1.1 MVI56E-MNETC Controller Tags

The main controller tag structure, MNETC, is broken down into four lower-level
controller tag structures.
The four lower-level controller tag structures contain other controller tags and
controller tag structures. Click the [+] sign next to any controller tag structure to
expand it and view the next level in the structure.
For example, if you expand the MNETC.DATA controller tag structure, you will
see that it contains two controller tag arrays, MNETC.DATA.ReadData and
MNETC.DATA.WriteData, which are 600-element integer arrays by default.
Each controller tag in the Add-On Instruction is commented in the Description
column.
Notice that the Data Type column displays the data types used to declare each
controller tag, controller tag array or controller tag structure. Individual controller
tags are declared with basic data types, such as INT and BOOL. Controller tag
arrays are declared with arrays of basic data types. Controller tag structures are
declared with user-defined data types (UDTs).
