System tags
This appendix describes system tags.
System tags are preconfigured HMI tags created by FactoryTalk View. System tags are
read-only. Show them as needed in your application.
Alarms
The following tag contains the time and date when the status of alarms was last reset. The
date uses the long date format.
For information about resetting alarms, see page 9-9.
Graphics
The following HMI tags can be used to make graphic objects appear as though they are
blinking on and off:
A more efficient way to make graphic objects blink is to use the blinking color option in
color animation. For details, see page 22-10.
Also, many objects have a Blink property that you can set up. For information about
specific objects, see Help.
