‘EWON’ for all EWON internal IO (please refer to chapter “ABLOGIX IO Server” on page 104)
‘MODBUS’ for IO located on the extension bus (please refer to chapter “Modbus IO server” on page 77)
‘MEM’ for virtual IO used by script function (please refer to chapter “MEM IO Server” on page 113)
‘NETMPI’ for IO located on the extension bus (please refer to chapter “NETMPI IO Server” on page 84)
‘UNITE’ for IO located on the extension bus (please refer to chapter “UNITE IO Server” on page 86)
‘DF1' for IO located on the extension bus (please refer to chapter “DF1 IO Server” on page 91)

Note: for memory Tag (MEM IO server) this field can be left empty. Although when editing a memory Tag,
the Tag Name will be found here, this field is "don’t care".
Type
Defines the Tag name type: Analog or Boolean. Analog enables the Tag to take float values coded on 4
bytes.
Boolean only return value 0 or 1. If the IO server returns a value equal to 0, the Boolean value is 0. If the
IO server returns a value different from 0 the output value is 1.
Force Read Only
Allows disabling the Update function in the View IO page. This is useful if you want to monitor a read/
write Tag. The Tag is still read/write for BASIC operations.
eWON value
Defines the offset and scale factor to be applied to the IO value coming from the server. The offset and
scales are float values and negative values are accepted. The Tag value will be: TAGval = IOSERVERval
* scale + offset.
