Refresh the Tags for a Linked I/O Device

You can manually refresh the tags for an I/O device that is linked to an external data source. This will load any changes that have occurred in the external data source into Citect Studio.

Note: If the Automatic Refresh property is set to True for a linked I/O device, a tag refresh will occur automatically when you compile your project.

To manually refresh linked tags:

In the Topology activity, select I/O Devices.
Select Refresh Tags from the Command Bar. The Refresh Linked Tags dialog box will appear.
Select the I/O device that is linked to the tags you would like to refresh (see Refresh Linked Tags Properties below).
