Good catch on that one! I actually ended up playing a bit more with that feature as I made the video and decided to leave it out. It's available but doesn't seem as natural to new users as adding the tags manually. I have a video coming up that goes over how to copy/paste large arrays of tags from the PLC to the HMI application.
That's an excellent catch Luis. The truth is that I should have edited the video and made all the tags as M (memory). I had shot the initial footage using Q which was wrong, but didn't stop me from testing the basic logic we wrote. They should all be M.
To clarify further, Q tags are tied to outputs. Since we didn't have any physical outputs in this case, it didn't really matter. The M tags are memory bits which is what we should have used. Alternatively, the push buttons could have been "I" and the LEDs "Q".
good video thanks
And what happened about drag and drop from PLC to HMI tags?

Hi, At fisrt you set the operand identifier as M, Why did you change it to Q?. It's the only doubt I have. Good tutorial bro.
