When you Add Tags to the connected device, use the following tag/register mapping table.
Note:
- The Browse icon displayed on the device tile means that this PLC uses Browse Tags. See Add Tags for more information.
- Certain device drivers do not have a list of register names in the DeviceHub Add Tag form. These are Free Tag PLCs. For Free Tag requirements, see Troubleshooting - DeviceHub.
Caution: Because this device belongs to a free tag PLC, the case-sensitive register name must be entered exactly as it is defined in the PLC. The device does not display a Connected status until a tag with a correct register name is created.
