I am in the process(spare time)modifying some code in a CLX system to add some additional fault logic with counters for the individual faults. The system has a PV+ 600 connected via ethernet. I am modifying the CLX code and the PV+ screens at my desk, while the machine is in production, but I am not connected to either. My question is, when I create a new tag in the PV+, I do not have access to the CLX tags, only the HMI tags. I can see the CLX tags that currently exist ({[PLC01]PV_ENABLE_HEAT} for example), but I need to creat new tags to the CLX for my new counters. I have created the new tags in the CLX program (the CLX program is done). How do I get (import)the new CLX tags to my PV+? I have manually entered the new tag names in the PV+, and I get a message "tag does not exist, do you want to create one?". I click no, and the tag that I entered displays correctly. Will this method work, or will I get errors when I download. Should I import the tag DB from the CLX program while offline? If so, how do I do that?
I hope this makes sense, this is the first time I have done this much to the system offline, and I am new to the CLX/PV+ AB world. I do like it, it seems really powerful. But it is certainly more complex.
