Symbolic I/O field
Symbolic I/O fields are used for the input and output of values. A field contains a list of
default entries from which one can be selected.
System alarms
System alarms are assigned the "System" alarm class. A system alarm reports internal
states of the HMI device and of the PLC.
Tab order
The tab order defined in the course of project engineering determines the sequence for
activating objects by pressing the <TAB> key.
Tags
A tag is a defined memory area that is used to read and write values. Those tags can be
accessed from the PLC or using the HMI device. We distinguish between external tags
(process tags) and internal tags, depending on whether or not the tag is interconnected with
the PLC.
Transfer
