80. When trend tags are being multiplexed different trend tags write to a shared trend buffer depending on the value of an index tag In other words a trend view displays a trend whose values are read by different tags belonging to the trend buffer This allows you to determine which trends should be shown in the different situations at run time At the same time you save storage space on the operating unit by using a common trend buffer Every value of the index tag is assigned a trend tag which writes to the trend buffer The figure illustrates the principle of multiplexing trend tags Temp1 Temp Temp3 Trend graphic Var_A Index tag Operating unit Multiplexing trends principle Temperature values Temp1 through Temp3 are stored in DB 10 on the PLC at addresses DW 37 DW 39 and DW 41 Tags Var1 through Var3 are configured for these addresses The value of index tag Var_A determines which tag writes values to the trend buffer With this type of multiplexing it is possible to display a larger number of process values as a trend since separate trend buffers are not created for every trend ProTool User Manual How to configure graphics based units A5E00149244 Release 12 01 Configuration techniques 5 5 4 Multiplexing input output fields Basic procedure When you configure input or output fields you define in advance the tag in which inputs are applied and from which values required to be output are read If
