PLC tag list
By Saad, practising automation engineer · Updated 2026-09-25
A table of controller tag names, data types, and descriptions exported from the IO list so PLC tags match the loop drawings.
One row per signal. Type is BOOL or REAL from the IO-list signal type. Node, card, slot, and channel are copied when present and never invented as Local:x:I.Data.y.
SchematicForge issues CSV, Excel, and Studio 5000 L5X (tags only — no rungs). It is not a controller program. Import into an empty or dedicated tag scope.
Start with the free Excel template or the 10-row CSV generator. The project tag list attaches to a paid pack when formats are enabled.
SchematicForge uses this term in generated loop diagrams, the Loop Register, and termination lists.
