Internal Tags
Although the following internal tags are not visible in the server configuration, they can be browsed by the OPC
client. They can be found under the <Channel Name>.<Device Name>._InternalTags group. If the OPC client
does not support browsing, or if a non-OPC client is being used, the tags can be created dynamically and
statically by using the addresses given below.
Note:
The tags listed in the following table are valid for the S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 device models.
The default data types are shown in bold.
Device Address Description Range Data Type Access
_RACK Number of the rack in which the CPU of
interest resides.
On changing this device property, the
connection with the CPU is re-established.
0-7 Byte, Short Read/Write
_SLOT Number of the slot in which the CPU of
interest resides.
On changing this device property, the
connection with the CPU is re-established.
2-31 Byte, Short Read/Write
