# Supported Commands

The Euromap63 (Gen1) driver supports the following commands in the specification.&#x20;

| **Euromap63 command** | **Use in Belden Horizon Data Operations**                |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| GETID                 | Browses available tags.                                  |
| REPORT                | Retrieves tag values from the injection molding machine. |

# Set up and Configure the the Euromap63 Driver

**To set up and configure the Euromap63:**

1. Create a shared folder. See [Create a Shared Folder in Windows 10](docId:8Hw5khMjtWtBeY055hoYr) to learn more.&#x20;
2. In Belden Horizon Data Operations, follow the steps to [Mount External Storage](docId:27-9cf61r9mo7UYnc01Sd) and configure the following parameters.&#x20;
   - **Mount Point Name**: Enter the name of the shared folder you created previously.&#x20;
   - **Share**: Enter the share name in the following format: `//[IP address of the PC running the simulator]/[shared folder name]`. For example: **//192.168.53.34/Euromap63folder**.&#x20;
   - **Read Only**: Uncheck the checkbox.&#x20;
   - **Username**: Enter the Linux Samba username you configured.&#x20;
   - **Password**: Enter the password for the Linux Samba username you configured.&#x20;
3. In Belden Horizon Data Operations, follow the steps to [Connect a Device](docId\:AVTs_R7RjIdM9g7LSawjm) and configure the following parameters. Configure other parameters as needed.&#x20;
   - **Device Type**: Select **Euromap63**.
   - **Driver Name**: Select **Euromap63 (Gen1)**.
   - **Path**: Enter the path of the shared folder in the following format: `/data/[shared folder name]`. For example: **/data/Euromap63folder**.&#x20;
4. Follow the steps to [Browse Tags](docId\:XmQvnLP37Jgg6UzoLqDdH) and add tags to the DeviceHub device.&#x20;






If you need to manually [Add a Tag](docId\:CsrurTOACnmmAMyN_uC5o) to the device, refer to the following tag parameters and available value types.&#x20;

Refer to the following additional resources:

- [Organize Device and Tag by Using Metadata](docId:8HtHwtbQxs1FcSPGPQsLB)
- [Tag Formula Variables](docId\:dvaMa3M0roq5Va7WqDlnu)

## Free Tags

This driver doesn't have a list of available register names in the DeviceHub *Add Tag* form.

To add tags, you must enter the case-sensitive register name exactly as it is defined in the PLC.

A **Connected** status for the device won't display until a tag with a correct register name is created.

## Available Value Types

- `int`
- `float`
- `int64`
- `float64`
- `string`

## Tag Parameters

- **Name**: Enter the case-sensitive register name exactly as it is defined in the PLC.&#x20;
- **Value Type**: Select a data type from the drop-down list.&#x20;
- **Polling Interval**: Enter a value in seconds. This determines how often the tag should poll the register for data.
- **Tag Name**: Enter a name for the tag.
- **Description** (Optional): Enter a description for the tag. &#x20;
- **Tag Formula**: Enter a formula for the tag to process the generated data. Two variables are permitted: `value` (current tag value) and `timestamp` (current tag UNIX time in milliseconds). The following math functions are available:
  - sin
  - cos
  - sqrt
  - tan
  - power
  - log
  - exp
- **Only Publish on Change of Value**: Select the checkbox to customize NATS messages to be published only when the *value&#x20;*&#x70;arameter changes from a previous value to a new one. *Change of Value* only applies to boolean, numeric (such as int or float), and simple string data types. It does not apply to complex types, such as JSON or array. Poll-once topics will not be affected by *Change of Value* settings. These topics will still only see a single message.
- **Meta Data**: Metadata summarizes basic information about data. This feature allows you to define key-value pair data for the device output payload later on. It can then be used to find, use, and reuse particular instances of data.&#x20;
