So I'm a bit out of my element here- we're moving to VTScada and I need to get all of our existing tags and alarms added to this new system.
As it stands, all I have to work with is the PLC's IP address, port number, unit ID, and a whole lot of named datapoints and alarms with modbus addresses. This has seemed like more than enough, but I'm seeing a LOT of options here and I'm clueless on what they even do.
I think I've sorted out how to get these tags added- create a port, then designate a driver as the child, which I think needs to be "Modbus Compatible Device"... but I've got a lot of them. Surely there's a way to do a batch import of all these datapoints via an excel spreadsheet or something? Do I really need to add all of these one by one?
