• Strong-typed OPC tables are not supported.
• Tag names are case-sensitive.
• To comment out a tag (for example, to disable a tag without having to modify the entire string table), prepend a / (slash) or ' (single straight quote mark) to the OptoScript tag name. Then, restart the Driver module in Ignition Gateway.

To stop scanning for specific tags and start scanning all tags, you must clear the controller's RAM, and then download and start the strategy.Note that deleting RAMand restart the Driver module. (Otherwise, the stPublicListOfStrategyTags table or changing its name will not remove the table from the controller, because persistent tables stay will remain in the controller's RAM (memory, even if they don't appear in you delete it from the strategy.).

To clear the controller's RAM and restart the strategy:

1. In PAC Control Config mode, modify the stPublicListOfStrategyTags table (Configure > Variables > String Tables > Modify):
   1. Change the table's name.
   2. Change the table's Initialization setting from "Persistent" to "Initialize on strategy download."
2. Start PAC Control Debug mode (Mode > Debug) and clear the controller's RAM (
3. In PAC Control, make sure the strategy is running in Debug mode.
4. In the PAC Control menu bar, click Control Engine > Clear RAM). At the prompts, click:
   1. "Yes (" to continue).
   2. Yes ("OK" to acknowledge the number of bytes).
   3. "Yes (" to download the strategy).
5. Then, click Run Strategy.run the strategy (Debug > Run).
