Data Access and Visibility

Not all Tags on the remote server can be accessible using this protocol. The visibility of the data and its access permissions, read or write, are defined by remote system, according to the Visibility property of the Tags in the remote system.

The available options are:

  • Private: The tag remains visible only to the local project and its redundant pair. Use this setting to restrict the tag's visibility, ensuring that only the local project and its backup can access the tag. Private Tags will not be visible to remote Servers.
  • Protected: The tag becomes visible to external connections for read-only operations. This setting allows external systems to read the tag's value without permitting any modifications, ensuring that the data remains unchanged. Protected Tags are accessible to read-only operations. 
  • Public: The tag becomes visible to external connections for both reading and writing. This setting provides full access to the tag, allowing external systems to both read and modify the tag's value. Public Tags are accessible to read or write operations.
