Get Tag Status Info
Use the Get Tag Status Info VI to obtain status information associated with tags. Tag status
information can be broken down into two types:
• Status information from BridgeVIEW—This status can be from the Engine or a Server.
It consists of details about the status and whether it is an error or warning.
• Status information from a Server—Only the status code is reported. Check your server
documentation for a description of this status.
tag status can be broken down into status information from BridgeVIEW
(Engine or Server), and status information from a server or a user error.
reported by indicates whether the status was reported by the BridgeVIEW
Engine or a server.
description gives the details of the part of the status reported by
BridgeVIEW.
BridgeVIEW status is the numeric representation of the portion of the
status reported by BridgeVIEW.
warning (F): error (T) indicates if the portion of status reported by
BridgeVIEW is an error (if it is negative), or a warning (if it is positive).
server status/user error is either the numeric value of the portion of tag
status posted by the device server (refer to your server documentation for
details on this value) or an indication of user error.
