A CX-Process Monitor tag file consists of monitor tag data (binary data) for a
single CPU Unit (with a maximum of three Loop Control Units).
CX-Process Monitor tag data consists of tag names, tag comments, corre-
sponding ITEM numbers or block addresses, and analog signal scaling data. By
reading the tag file with the CX-Process Monitor, the block address or ITEM
number in function block data corresponding to the CX-Process Monitor tag on
each screen can be specified.
The CX-Process Monitor tag file is created by selecting Create Tag File – Moni-
tor Tag from the Execution Menu.
Note 1. It is necessary to install the CX-Process Monitor on the same computer be-
fore creating monitor tag files.
2. Monitor tag files are stored by default in the following folder with fixed file
names.
Folder: Omron\CX-Process Monitor\db
(The underlined part is the folder of CX-Process Monitor.)
File names: mtagmst and mtagsubmst
You can change the folder in which monitor tag files are stored using the
Monitor Software from the Setup Dialog Box.
3. CX-Process Monitor tag files are not used when comparing, downloading,
or uploading data.
A CX-Process Monitor Plus tag file contains the CX-Process Monitor Plus tag

reading the tag file with the CX-Process Monitor Plus, the block address or ITEM
number in function block data corresponding to the CX-Process Monitor tag on
each screen can be specified.
The CX-Process Monitor tag file is created by selecting Create Tag File – Moni-
tor Plus Tag from the Execution Menu. If the CX-Process Monitor Plus is then
started and the Start Button is pressed, the monitor tag files mtagmst and mtag-
submst will be automatically generated. If the monitor tag files are read from the
CX-Process Monitor, the block addresses or ITEM numbers in the function block
data corresponding to the monitor tag names pasted on the screen can be se-
lected.
