The following list of variables belonging to the Config.ini configuration file's [SYSTEM] section pertain to tags.
(VTScada) Indicates the label to be displayed in the title bar of the tag properties folder for analog control tags. This label also determines the label displayed in the Tag Browser for the analog control tag type.
Default: AnalogControlName = Analog Control
(VTScada) Indicates the label to be displayed in the title bar of the tag properties folder for analog status tags. This label also determines the label displayed in the Tag Browser for the analog status tag type.
Default: AnalogStatusName = Analog Status
Indicates whether tags belonging to any area not listed in the [AREAS] section of the Config.ini configuration file will be excluded from being loaded at startup, or will be loaded at startup (see Config.ini [AREAS] Section Variables).
If AreaExclude is set to 0 (false), then all tags belonging to areas not listed in the [AREAS] section of Config.ini are loaded at startup.
If AreaExclude is set to 1 (true), then all tags belonging to areas not listed in the [AREAS] section of Config.ini are not loaded at startup.
Related Variables: The AreaFilter variable must be set to 1 (true – which it is by default) in order for area filtering to work.
Default: AreaExclude = 0
Indicates whether the settings of the [AREAS] section and the AreaExclude variable of the Config.ini file will be ignored or observed (see Config.ini [AREAS] Section Variables).
If set to 0 (false), then both the [AREAS] section and the AreaExclude variable (see above) in Config.ini are ignored.
If set to 1 (true), then both the [AREAS] section and the AreaExclude variable in Config.ini are observed.
Default: AreaFilter = 1
Indicates whether or not the system should automatically update a tag when it has been added to the system (i.e. when the "OK" button on the tag properties folder has been clicked).
Related Variables: The AutoUpdateTagModify variable indicates whether or not the system should automatically update a tag when it has been modified.
Default: AutoUpdateTagAddition = 0
Indicates whether or not the system should automatically update a tag when it has been modified (i.e. when the "OK" button on the tag properties folder has been clicked). If the tag is locked on the local workstation, and the AutoUpdateTagModify variable has been set to "1" (true), users will be prevented from modifying the tag until it has been updated.
Related Variables: The AutoUpdateTagAddition variable indicates whether or not the system should automatically update a tag when it has been added to the system.
Default: AutoUpdateTagModify = 0
Indicates the label to be displayed in the title bar of the tag properties folder for digital control tags. This label also determines the label displayed in the Tag Browser for the digital control tag type.
Default: DigitalControlName = DigitalControl
(VTScada) Indicates the label to be displayed in the title bar of the tag properties folder for digital status tags. This label also determines the label displayed in the Tag Browser for the digital status tag type.
Default: DigitalStatusName = Digital Status
(VTScada) Indicates the label to be displayed in the title bar of the tag properties folder for pulse input tags. This label also determines the label that is displayed in the Tag Browser’s Types drop-down list for the pulse input tag type.
Default: PulseInName = Pulse Input
In a remote application, Rate of Change Tag information is distributed from the server to workstations at regular intervals (see: RateOfChageTagRPCInterval) or when the tag’s value has changed by at a relative amount.
This variable sets the percentage amount by which the rate of change value must change before it will be distributed from the server to client workstations.
Default: 5
In a remote application, Rate of Change Tag information is distributed from the server to workstations at regular intervals, as set by this value. The update frequency is measured in seconds.
Default: 60
Indicates the area to which the tags that have been created for simulation purposes belong. Tags belonging to this area are loaded, but are excluded from display in the Tag Browser (i.e. hidden).
Related Variables: The SimulateIO variable indicates whether or not simulated data is generated for this application.
Default: SimulationArea = Simulation
Indicates whether or not you wish to generate simulated data.
If set to 0 (false), then simulated data is not generated for this application (default).
If set to 1 (true), then simulated data is generated for this application.
Related Variables: The SimulationArea variable enables you to indicate the area to which tags that have been created for simulation purposes belong.
Default: SimulateIO = 0
(VTScada) Indicates the label to be displayed above the I/O device drop-down list on the I/O tab for digital status tags.
Default: SitePointLabel = Site
Indicates whether invalid values should be logged by the SQL logger.
Default: SQLLoggerLogInvalids = 1
If set to TRUE then the same RPC service will be used for all instances of SQLLoggerGroup, making it easier to specify which server to use for all SQLLoggerGroups.
Default: SQLLoggerGroupSharedRPC = 0
Indicates, in seconds, how frequently to purge old records. By default, this runs daily.
Default: SQLLoggerDeleteInterval = 86400
Indicates, in seconds for each logger delete interval, how long after the beginning of the interval the purge should occer. Taken with the default of 86400 for SQLLoggerDeleteInterval, this sets the purge to take place at 30 seconds past midnight each day.
Default: SQLLoggerDeleteOffset = 30
Indicates the
Default: SQLLoggerDefaultLogInterval = 60
SQLLoggerDefaultTagIdTableName
Indicates the table name the logger expects to find in the log database, to use for writing tag ID information.
Default: SQLLoggerDefaultTagIdTableName = VTS_TAGID
SQLLoggerDefaultTagDataTableName
Indicates the table name the logger expects to find in the log database, to use for writing tag value information.
Default: SQLLoggerDefaultTagDataTableName = VTS_TAGDATA
Controls the default for the “Auto-Delete Records Older than (days)” parameter of the SQLLoggerGroup.
Default: SQLLoggerDefaultMaxDataAge = 365
Indicates the field name for the first field in the tag properties folders for all tag types. Note: It is NOT recommended that you modify this variable, as doing so may adversely affect remote configuration.
Related Variables: The TagField2Name and TagField3Name variables enable you to configure the field names for the second and third fields in the tag properties folders for all tag types.
Default: TagField1Name = Name
Indicates the field name for the second field in the tag properties folders for all tag types. Note: It is NOT recommended that you modify this variable, as doing so may adversely affect remote configuration.
Related Variables: The TagField1Name and TagField3Name variables enable you to configure the field names for the first and third fields in the tag properties folders for all tag types.
Default: TagField2Name = Area
Indicates the field name for the third field in the tag properties folders for all tag types. Note: It is NOT recommended that you modify this variable, as doing so may adversely affect remote configuration.
Related Variables: The TagField1Name and TagField2Name variables enable you to configure the field names for the first and second fields in the tag properties folders for all tag types.
Default: TagField3Name = Description
(VTScada) Indicates the label to be displayed above the deadband field on the I/O tab of the tag properties folder for analog status tags.
Default: ThresholdLabel = Deadband (Engineering Units)
