RELIANCE Tag Variable Table
Target display tag variables are named using the Reliance Automate nomenclature for Registers,
Points, Destination Nodes and Destination Slots. The following table shows the format for variable
names. If the Point name is omitted then the entire register will be addressed. If the Destination Node
or Destination Slot are omitted, then the default Destination parameters will be used. Here are some
samples of variable names.

names are O to 65535. Registers with points are O to 1.
