Creating a SOAP Tag

After creating a tag on a SOAP (RDM) device, you need to tell Koios which RDM device and parameter to read. You can configure these fields during creation or afterwards on the tag's Configuration tab.

Protocol Fields

RDM Device

The identifier of the device within the RDM system. RDM services manage multiple devices, and this field identifies which one to query.

• Example: Device001, AHU-3

RDM Parameter

The name of the parameter to read from the RDM device. Each parameter represents a specific data point — a sensor reading, setpoint, or status value.

• Example: SupplyAirTemp, FanSpeed, CoolValvePos

Using the RDM Browser

The RDM browser connects to the SOAP service and lets you explore its device and parameter hierarchy.

1. Open the tag's Configuration tab and click Browse
2. The browser lists all devices available in the RDM service
3. Expand a device to see its available parameters
4. Select the parameter you want — the RDM Device and RDM Parameter are auto-populated
5. Click Apply to save the selection

After Configuration

1. Save the tag configuration
2. Test the tag — click

   Test

   to verify Koios can read the parameter's value (see Testing a Tag)
3. Enable the tag — flip the enable switch to start collecting data
