Chapter 9 - Creating and Using Databases and Languages

EasyBuilder includes the ability to create and use both a Tag Database Library and a Label Database Library. The
Tag Library is a database of PLC register addresses. Once created, the Tag Database allows individual object
address assigning through Tag selection from the Tag Library. The Label Library is a database of text labels. Once
created, the Label Database allows individual object text labeling through Label selection from the Label Library.
The Label text may also be represented in up to eight languages, each selectable for display.

Cre ating and Using the Tag Li brary

The Tag Library is a database of register addresses, with each tag representing a single address. EasyBuilder gives
you the option of using either Customized or System tags. Customized tags are tags that you build yourself. System
tags are predefined tags that allow access to certain built-in functions and settings. You can select whether you will
be using customized or system tags in the Address Tag Library dialog. The Tag listing does not contain display
information, as display attributes are set when the individual object using the Tag listing is created.
To create a Tag Database Library
1. From the Library menu, click Tag..., or click the Address Tag Library Manager button from
the Standard toolbar. The Address Tag Library dialog appears.
