Smart Tags

A number of Smart Tags have been included in the TagDictionary in order to leverage the semantic model features of Niagara 4.

Adding the microsTagDictionary to the station’s Tag Dictionary Service will automatically apply these tags to any points underneath the station’s Micros Device. These could then be used to perform neql searches by room number or state, or to build a hierarchy for use by the hotel operator. Some examples of possible hierarchies which could be built from these smart tags are included in the Hierarchies folder of the micros palette.

Tag Name Value Description
Occupied Boolean This has a Boolean value reflecting the occupancy state of the Micros proxy point extension.
RoomEquipment Enumerate This has an enumerate value reflecting the current RoomEquipment setting.
RoomNumber String This has a string value reflecting the Micros proxy extensions Room Number.
RoomPrefix text This presents the first character(s) of a Micros proxy extensions Room Number for example:
  • For a three digit room number (101) it returns the first character, eg. 1
  • For a four digit room number (1011) it returns the first character, eg. 1
  • For a five digit room number (20123) it returns the first 2 characters, eg. 20.
  • If it starts with a word (for example “GROUND1”) then it returns as much of the "word" as possible
