Write a constant string value to a tag

Hi,

Is it possible to permanently write a constant value (in my case a string value) to a tag within Kepware?

Thanks!

In Kepware, you can write a constant value (such as a string) to a tag. Please follow the steps:-

1. Tag Configuration:

First, ensure that you have the appropriate tag set up in Kepware. This tag should be associated with the device or data source you’re working with.

2. Tag Value Assignment:

Once you have the tag configured, assign the constant value (string) to it:
- Locate the tag in Kepware’s tag list.
- Edit the tag properties.
- Look for a field where you can set the value. Depending on the tag type, this field might be labeled “Value,” “Initial Value,” or something similar.
- Enter your desired constant string value.

Test the setup by monitoring the tag value in Kepware and verifying that it matches the constant string you assigned.
Also, check the PLC side to ensure that the value has been successfully written.
