When you Add Tags to the connected device, refer to the following tag parameters and available value types.
Refer to the following additional resources:
This driver doesn't have a list of available register names in the DeviceHub Add Tag form.
To add tags, you must enter the case-sensitive register name exactly as it is defined in the PLC.
A Connected status for the device won't display until a tag with a correct register name is created and a value is generated (not null/blank).
If you want to read a DINT array, you need to write the element number of the array that you want to read in square brackets along with the tag name.
Example: If the array name is ArrayDint and you want to read the third element of the array, the format for the tag name in Litmus Edge is ArrayDint[2].
