Adding a tag to an asset

System administrators can manage assets and tags.

In Kaspersky MLAD, you can add tags to created assets.

To add a tag to an asset:

1. In the lower-left corner of the window, click .

   You will be taken to the administrator menu.

2. Select the Assets section.
3. In the asset tree, next to the section to which you want to add a tag, open the vertical menu and select Add tag.

   The Create tag pane opens on the right.

4. If necessary, click the Choose icon button and select an icon for the tag in the opened window.

   You can upload the tag icon by clicking the Load icon button. Images of any format larger than 128x128 pixels are shrunk to 128x128 while maintaining the aspect ratio. The size of the uploaded image in SVG format must not exceed 200 KB.

   If you need to delete the tag icon, click the tag icon and then click Delete in the opened window.

5. Specify the unique tag name in the Name field. If you want to receive tag values from an external system, specify the tag name in the external system.
6. If necessary, enter a description for the tag in the Description field.
7. If necessary, specify an alternative name for the tag in the Alternative name field.
8. Enter the unique numerical identifier of the tag in the ID field.
9. If necessary, in the Dimension field, specify the measurement units for the tag (for example % or mPa).
10. Optionally, in the Lower and Upper fields under Blocking threshold, enter the lower and upper thresholds for acceptable tag values.

    These settings are required for the Limit Detector to operate correctly. Whenever the tag value reaches its upper or lower blocking threshold, the Limit Detector registers an incident.

    If Always display blocking threshold is enabled, the vertical scale of the graph will be defined by threshold lines drawn at the lower and upper boundaries of the graphic area that the tag belongs to, provided that the tag values are within the specified range. If the tag values go beyond the specified thresholds, the vertical scale will be automatically changed to display the tag values exceeding the limits.

11. If necessary, in the Alarm threshold, in the Lower and Upper fields, specify the lower and upper thresholds of the tag values, upon reaching which it is necessary for the ICS to take emergency response measures.
12. Optionally, enter the minimum and maximum physically possible tag values in the Lower and Upper fields under Measurement confidence thresholds. Be sure to consider any limitations of the measuring equipment.
13. Optionally, in the Bias and Multiplier fields under Value conversion, enter the value to add to the tag value and the value to multiply the tag value obtained via connectors by.

    The application convert the tag values according to the formula: a * x + b, where:

    • a is the value of the multiplier specified in Multiplier.
    • x: the received tag value
    • b is the value of the offset specified in Bias.

    The application performs conversion when Scale obtained tag values in the connector settings is enabled. Value conversion is possible for tags obtained with the help of MQTT Connector, AMQP Connector, OPC UA Connector, WebSocket Connector, or KICS Connector.

    Value conversion is required when obtaining tag values in a unit of measurement that differs from the one specified in the Dimension field.

14. If the application receives tag values via KICS Connector, optionally, in the External system asset field, specify the name of the device created in the external system that you want to receive tags for.
15. If necessary, in the X, Y, and Z fields, specify the spatial coordinates for the location of the monitored asset's sensor.

    You can use an arbitrary point as the origin of the coordinate system.

    You can use sensor coordinates to calculate tag values when creating a preset and displaying them on the graph in the Time slice section.

16. If necessary, in the Comment field, enter a brief comment for the tag.
17. Click the Save button.

The new tag appears in the Tags group of the asset tree. The Tags group is created automatically and displayed as part of the selected section of the asset tree. If necessary, you can change the position of tags in the tree.
