Do you know a way to create my own internal tags during compilation of the OS. Is there some kind of S7-parameter to solve this (like S7_m_c)? In the past this functionality was protected (or not know to me), but maybe in the new version (I use V7.1SP2) it is possible? I hope you can help. Thanks in advance, Jaap

I am not aware of any S7 parameter (other than what was suggested in the last post). But what exactly are you looking for? Generating text tags?

Some tags will never change, like "ObjectName" or "ObjectDescription" etc etc. So it would be nice if these texts (defined in SIMATIC manager (PLC)) could be compiled as a internal tag. So I can save external tags. But for now I do not see a good solution.

Though I've found a way around for my case, using the APL: https://support.industry.siemens.com/tf/ww/en/posts/memo-in-faceplate/57572/?page=0&pageSize=10#post220279
