Used for multithreading. See the Multithreading topic for more information.

Turnup Tag

A value change of this tag is used to trigger a new production event to be created.

Other Tag

The Last Good Value is read from the Other Tag and the First character from this value is used as the X character in the Tappi or Event Number.

Tappi Middle #1

This value is used as the middle characters of the Tappi or Event Number.

Tappi Middle #2

This value is used as the middle characters of the Tappi or Event Number.

Prod Day (HH:MM)

The time that the counter is restarted for the number of events made in that day.

Month Chars

The Tappi Month Characters used to generate the M character.

Use Prod Day (TRUE)

If set to TRUE, the Prod Day setting is used to determine the end of the production day and therefore the end of the month.  This will impact when the Month Character is changed to the new month.  If it is set to FALSE, then midnight is used as the end of the production day.
