When setting a new tag, use the same settings as those used in the host (PLC) tag. If there is no tag in
the host, copy the tag that you create from the CX-Designer’s symbol table to the CX-Programmer’s
symbol table.
♦
STRING variables and array variables cannot be created with the CX-Designer. Copy these variables
from the CX-Programmer’s symbol table.
♦
The tag link type set with the CX-Programmer is displayed in the Tag Link Type Field. It cannot be
changed with the CX-Designer. If a new tag is created with the CX-Designer, Network Variable will
always be displayed.

For UTF-8, the number of bytes depends on the character. (It will be 1 byte for ASCII and 2 to 6 bytes
for others.)
