• You can use the following characters in tag names. 0 to 9, A to Z, a to z, single-byte kana, _
(underbar), and multi-byte characters (e.g., Japanese)
• You cannot use the following characters in tag names. ! “ # $ & ‘ ( ) * + ‚ - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ ] ^ ‘
% spaces or text strings that start with numerals (0 to 9)
• The maximum length of a tag name is 255 bytes.
• Specify array variables,structure variables, and union variables as shown below.
• Specifying array elements: array [2][3] (or array [2,3]) and array [2][3][4] (or array [2,3,4])
• Specifying structure members: Struct.member (Separate the member name with a period.)
• Specifying union members: Union.member (Separate the member name with a period.)
• To specify a specific I/O memory address for a tag, create a variable with an AT specification
for the I/O memory address on the Sysmac Studio. (This applies only for the NJ-series CPU
Units.) If you specify the variable with the AT specification for the tag on the Network Configu-
rator, a tag data link is created to the I/O memory address that was set for the AT specification.
