Adding a property
When adding a property, you can simply browse for tags in the dropdown menu. When adding an input property, a polling interval is also necessairy.
Omron
Because tag browsing is currently not supported for Omron PLCs, properties need to be added a little differently. To add a property you have to know the tag name and the data type beforehand and fill them in manually.
