An array of tags

About tag arrangement

In a standard PLC, if you check "Make an array" in the "Advanced Settings" tab, the tag will be treated as an array.

 

Setting it as an array tag allows you to handle consecutive areas together.

For example, if you specify the number of arrays as 1000 in the numeric tag for PLC address "D00001," it will be treated as an array of 1000 elements from "D00001" to "D01000."
