Select the Process control tab in the Console window.
In the tree of devices and tags,select the device and its protocol for which you want to add a tag. You must select a protocol in which the transmission of tags is supported. You can also select one of the available tags for the protocol.
After selecting a protocol (or one of the tags of this protocol), the Add tag button becomes active. The button will be inactive if you have selected a protocol in which the transmission of tags is not supported (for example, the FTP system protocol).
Click the Add tag button.
The tag editor appears in the lower part of the tab.
Specify the required settings whose names are distinguished by font (for example, the tag name and data type).
If necessary, specify the other settings that are available for the tag depending on the protocol and the selected data type (for example, the unit of measurement and scaling limits).
Save the tag settings by clicking the OK button.
The tree of devices and tags will display the new tag for the selected protocol.
