7.8.2 Setting items in Array setting
An array is a data format, in which the specified number of data of the same data type are
arranged sequentially.
The Array setting is set when writing multiple records extracted from a database to the
same tag component.
Either of the following can be selected for device assignment to each tag component.
• Assigning consecutive devices to each tag component (series)
• Handling all tag components as a block and assigning the same kind of devices in a
series of blocks (block)
Tags with array settings are used for [MultiSelect].
(1) Use array
When the [Use array] checkbox is checked, the tag is arranged as arrays.
(2) Length of array (Range: 2 to 40000, Default: 2)
Set the number of arrays for the tag.
(3) Series/Block
Select a method for the array setting.
(a) Series
Devices of respective tag components are arranged consecutively.
(Example)When [Length of array] is set to 4 with [series] setting
Only the start device (device in n=1) need be set.
Devices in and after n=2 are configured automatically.
If any duplicate device is identified in the same tag, an error dialog box will
appear.
Check the device settings.
