Stage tags

Staging a tag involves moving content from a namespace to the Staging Area and then mapping tags to a model. Once tags are in the Staging Area, bind them to nodes in the model.
A namespace is a directory of data from your data source or a collection of data types and instances. It represents the data structure from the source used to generate models. Most data sources allow for online discovery of data from the data source for populating the namespace.
Use
Studio 5000 Logix Designer
 project files (.acd) to generate a namespace and to create offline models available for download.
There is a limitation of 30 models per gateway, 500 nodes per model, and 8 nested node levels per model.
TIP:
FactoryTalk Smart Object
 models are automatically created and appear under models. Tags are already bound to these models and
FactoryTalk Smart Object
 instances are read-only. The scan rate for
FactoryTalk Smart Object
 instances cannot be set since they are mapped to the output.
