Power Tags
Power Tags
Power Tags are the tags Wise SCADA uses to communicate with physical devices in the field (PLC, HMI, Energy Analyzer, Drive, etc.).
Rule of Thumb: If you are reading a tag’s value from a PLC or writing to a PLC, it is a Power Tag.
Licensing and Power Tag Concept
Wise SCADA’s licensing model is based on the number of Power Tags used.
- Internal Tags: Free of charge.
- PLC Tags: All tags read from or written via a PLC are considered Power Tags.
- String Tags: For STRING type tags, every four bytes count as one tag.
- Other Types: All other data types are calculated as one tag, regardless of their byte length.
Note: Visit the Licensing Operations page for detailed information.
