Tag Editor Data Extract

Ignition
,
1

I’m trying to get a simple script or SQL statement to extract the Tag Name and OPC Item Path fields from the Tag Editor Screen in Ignition Designer and dump it into a flat file or some format that I can use to cross reference for development. As you can see from this example, the Descriptions of O144/15 from the PLC are of no use to the developer when trying to debug an issue.
If there is an easy way to connect to the Config.idb or if you can point me to the ODBC drivers to download or other method to connect…

Thanks,
Matt

The scripting function system.tag.browse will give you that information. Beware that a recursive call can time out. It is best to use gateway scope (like in a message handler) to run time-consuming scripts.

That worked except I had to use system.tag.browseTags because we are on version 7.9.
But that led me in the right direction to get the information from the documentation.
Thanks,
Matt
