1 The Configuration Tool
1.1 Introduction
The iX Developer software is used to configure Operator panel and PC operated control applications, including applications for IPCs (Industrial PCs) from Beijer
Electronics.
iX Developer contains all basic functions needed in an application. The functions are tested and developed with customer needs and preferences in focus.
Pre-defined objects in iX Developer can be used to create complete process images, providing an overview of a complex application. You can customize the pre-defined objects or create objects of your own.
Communication drivers for a large number of controllers and automation equipment are available.
The help file assumes that the most recent versions of the system program (image) and iX Developer are used.

Tags
Data values in a controller are referred to as
tags
.
Tags may also belong to the system or be internal. A tag has a symbolic name and can be of different data types.
Objects connected to tags can change values in the controller, and tag values can be reflected by changing object appearance in various ways. Objects in a screen will remain static until connected to a tag.
