I'm very new to this side of HMI and when creating HMI tags in the past I have been fortunate enough connect to the controller and browse Online.
I want create some HMI tags and I do not have the ability to connect to the controller. I've read up on the subject of Offline tag browsing by linking to an offline file in Enterprise but I don't believe RSlogix 500 project files are supported.
What have I done: I've tried to import tags feature but this only brings up the status file. Tried to offline browse but can't offline browse 500 projects.
What I want to do: Create my tags without being connected to the controller. I'm either wanting to browse offline somehow or manually make/enter them, which I do not know how to do either.
What I have: Factorytalk View ME and a 1757 L541 SLC 5/04. No PVP HMI purchased yet. Got some weird Pro Face thing with a dead screen on the line now.
On the subject of manually creating HMI tags, it's not as simple as entering {::[Sortcut_Name]XX:x.x} into the connection tab of an object is it?
