Pipeline means a function that allows you to transfer the value of a Tag to another Tag.
Tags can be of any type.
If the Tag format is different, the value is transferred according to the Casting functions of the data between different types.
Transfer of the speed value of a motor to the PLC
For example, if in an application you want to transfer the speed value of a motor from the drive to the PLC, simply define a pipeline.
The Pipeline also works for devices with different communication protocols.
Protocol converter
The Pipeline mapped to Tags defined on different communication protocols behaves like a Protocol Gateway since it transfers the value of the Tag using the protocol of the connected device.
