I am searching for a way to edit the tag names within factory IO. I am trying to use pre-existing Studio 5000 programs and map the tags in Factory IO to the existing tags in a given program.
The software would be much more useful for real world applications if I were able to import tags into Factory IO rather than having to completely re-write the tags on the PLC side. If anyone knows of a way this would be possible please let me know.
I am thinking that this may be possible through the OPC Client DA/UA driver however I haven’t used it before. If anyone has experience with that driver please let me know.
Hello @adamriley329
Unfortunately, exporting tags from Studio 5000 or other similar software to Factory I/O isn’t currently possible. But you can do the reverse—export the tags from Factory I/O and then import them into your programming environment.
That said, this is an interesting suggestion, and we’ll definitely consider it for future updates!
