Advanced Tags & Calculated Values

Transform Raw Data into Actionable Insights

Create powerful calculated tags by combining multiple data points with mathematical formulas. Calculate KPIs, efficiency metrics, total consumption, and complex industrial parameters in real-time without programming.

Powerful Capabilities

Advanced Calculation Engine

Real-Time Calculation

All formulas are calculated in real-time as source tag values change. Get instant results without delays or batch processing.

Mathematical Operators

Support for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulo, and parentheses for complex calculations.

Unlimited Tag Combination

Combine as many tags as needed in a single formula. Create complex calculations with multiple data sources.

Database Recording

Save calculated values to database with flexible scheduling. Analyze historical calculated data and trends.

Use in Formulas

Advanced tags can be used in other formulas and automation rules, creating powerful calculation chains.

Smart Error Handling

Automatic handling of division by zero, null values, and connection errors. Configurable fallback values.

How It Works

Simple 4-Step Process

1

Select Source Tags

Choose the tags you want to use in your calculation from your existing tag list.

2

Build Formula

Create your calculation using tag names and mathematical operators. Use parentheses for complex expressions.

3

Test & Validate

Test your formula with current tag values. Verify the calculation result before saving.

4

Configure & Save

Set calculation schedule, enable database recording if needed, and save your advanced tag.

Best Practices

Tips for Effective Advanced Tags

Keep Formulas Simple

Break complex calculations into multiple advanced tags for better maintainability and debugging.

Use Descriptive Names

Name your advanced tags clearly to indicate what they calculate. Use prefixes like 'Calc_' or 'Total_'.

Handle Edge Cases

Consider division by zero, null values, and connection errors. Use static tags for fallback values.

Optimize Performance

Avoid unnecessary calculations. Use appropriate scheduling intervals based on how often values change.

Document Formulas

Add descriptions to your advanced tags explaining the calculation logic and purpose.

Test Thoroughly

Verify calculations with known values before deploying to production. Monitor results initially.
