Editing of all objects in the process D2000 CNF is being performed in the configuration dialog box, a specific part of which is common for all editable objects and another part depends on the type of edited object.
Configuration dialog box of remote tags consists of several tabs, which contain similar parameters.

Parameters
A text string describing the remote tag. Maximum: 128 characters.
Possibility to use the Dictionary (to open press CTRL+L).
Defines a status text of the remote tag. Status text allows to redefine labels of individual values of the remote tag.
Selection of an index to transformation palette. See the topic Transformation palette.
Selection of a remote tag value type. Admissible value types are listed in the following table.
Label | Remote tag value type |
---|---|
Bo | Boolean - logical |
Int | Integer |
Re | Real |
TmA | Time Absolute |
TmR | Time Relative - time interval |
Txt | Text |
Technical units of the remote tag. Maximum: 12 characters. Possibility to use the Dictionary (to open press CTRL+L).
Name of an object in remote application. The object may be:
WARNING:
Object name is stored in a text form in the configuration database and its existence is not checked
during the configuration of the remote tag.
Object in remote application | Destination object |
---|---|
▪ Entire structured variable |
Entire structured variable. Values are transferred as follows - a change of the item [row, col] of the object in remote application will change the item [row, col] of the destination object. If [row, col] is out of range, the change will not be applied. |
▪ Row of structured variable |
Row of structured variable (rowDST). Values are transferred as follows - a change of the item [rowSRC, col] of the object in remote application will change the item [rowDST, col] of the destination object. If [rowDST, col] is out of range, the change will not be applied. |
▪ Column of structured variable |
Column of structured variable (colDST). Values are transferred as follows - a change of the item [row, colSRC] of the object in remote application will change the item [row, colDST] of the destination object. If [row, colDST] is out of range, the change will not be applied. |
Remote object can be controlled by as follows:
Object in remote application | Control object |
---|---|
Object with simple value | Object with simple value. |
Row of structured variable [rowDST] |
Row of structured value [rowSRC]. Values are transferred as follows - a change of the item [rowSRC, col] of the control object will change the item [rowDST, col] of the object in remote application. If [rowDST, col] is out of range the change will not be applied. |
Column of structured variable [colDST] |
Column of structured variable [colSRC]. Values are transferred as follows - a change of the item [row, colSRC] of the control object will change the item [row, colDST] of the object in remote application. If [row, colDST] is out of range the change will not be applied. |
Entire structured variable |
Entire structured variable. Values are transferred as follows - a change of the item [row, col] of the control object will change the item [row, col] of the object in remote application. If [row, col] is out of range the change will not be applied. |
Start value of the remote object. The input field is enabled if the parameter Manual is enabled, too.
Object, values of which are to be set for the object in remote application. The input field is enabled if the parameter Control object is enabled, too.
If the parameter is set, an object copying is complete, i.e. also with the flag
process alarm. The result is that Target object or remote tag (in dependence on
configuration) shows the presence of process alarm which is inserted to the list
of alarms (e.g. process D2000 HI). An effort about confirmation of this process
alarm is not transferred and it ends with error: "Error: Disallowed command".
If the configuration parameter is not set, the remote tag will not transfer any
flags of process alarms.
