FactoryTalk Batch uses phase tags to connect and talk to the phase logic in the
PCD. Phase logic is code that issues real-time commands to actual devices in
the plant. These tags also determine the size of the FactoryTalk Batch Server
needed for a particular process.
To view a sample FactoryTalk Batch tags:
1. Double-click the WP_AGITATE_M1 icon. The Edit Phase dialog box

2. Select the Tags tab. The Phase Tags list shows the various tags

The Item Name box contains the tag address defined in the PCD.
Notice that the COMMAND tag is associated with the Phase Simulator

cursor in the Design View where you want to place the phase, and
then left-click. The Edit Phase dialog box opens to the General tab.
