Variable values
Values of variables display at runtime.
Setting variable values
You can set the value of a variable by specifying:
-
A fixed value
-
An inherited value from the variable type or object type definition
-
A dynamic link that sets the value of a variable based on the value of another variable
Tip: To use and display values from a field device or a controller, you must import the tags and variables into the project and synchronize them. Variables imported from a field device or controller are tagged with the communication protocol type used to transfer the value. For more information, see Communication drivers.
