Pressure - Can I specify a tag number for the pressure transmitter?

Yokogawa transmitters have both Hardware and Software Tag Numbers.

Hardware Tag

Yokogawa pressure transmitters have a permanently attached tag plate located on the neck of the transmitter. The tag accommodates up to 22 characters.

An optional wired-on-tag (code /N4) is available that accommodates up to 16 characters.

Both tags can include any letter A through Z, number 0 through 9, and the symbols [ - ], [ . ], or [ / ].
