In Smart Instrumentation, if you have instruments belonging to more than one tag class, you must define a mapping value for the Tag Class (CMPNT_CAT_ID) column when defining an import link for COMPONENT table columns. In the database, CMPNT_CAT_ID is the column that contains the tag class ID numbers. Depending on the import method you selected on the Link Definitions dialog, the Import Link window either displays CMPNT CAT ID (the definition in the database) or Tag Class (the definition in the Smart Instrumentation interface):
-
When defining a link for importing data using the Module method, the Import Link window displays Tag Class under the Target Name column and displays CMPNT CAT ID under the Column Name column.
-
When defining a link for importing data directly into the COMPONENT table, using the Single table method, the Import Link window only displays CMPNT CAT ID under the Target Name column.
The following table lists ID values for all possible instrument tag classes that Smart Instrumentation supports. Note that there is no mapping code four (4).
