    Plant Project Database Tag Format - Tag Codes

    Ever wonder how to configure the proper tag format and tag codes on the Plant Project Database side of your projects?

    Look below for quick primer on creating tag formats and the use of delimiters.

    DELIMTER DESIGNATIONS:

    # - Next character will be numeric

    ' - Next character will alpha

    1 - Current section contains 1 character

    2 - Current section contains 2 characters

    3 - Current section contains 3 characters

    4 - Current section contains 4 characters

    Delimiter Code Description
    - d Will break the tag when it finds a hyphen (A-T-N or 100-FT-100)
    " i
    / s Will break the tag when it finds a backslash (A/T-N or 100/FVC-100)
    _ u Will break the tag when finds an underscore (A_T_N or 100_FCV_100)
    ' No Code Will break the tag when it changes from a number to a character (A'T#N or 35FT100)
    # No Code Will break the tag when it changes from character to a number (A'T#N or 35FT100)
    1, 2, 3, 4 No Code

    Will break the tag after the number of characters (A-T3N or 100-FCV100 and A-T2N or 100-FC100)

    To create a "space" delimiter you must add a delimiter as follows:

    To see how this relates to Openplant PowerPID ECExpressions and Parser Regular Expressions look at this
