[Tip] Tip

If there are several tags that needs to be combined into one tag, a sample script like below can be of use: 

var S1 = getTag ( 'SIM1_Lek');
var S2 = getTag ( 'SIM1_Breuk');
var S3 = getTag ( 'SIM1_Service');
var S4 = getTag ( 'SIM1_Loopim');

//turning on anyone of the tag will trigger the event.
setTag( 'SIM1_Alarm', S1 | S2 | S3 | S4);

And this script can be further simplified into one line in a virtual tag's Tag Expression. 

$SIM1_Lek | $SIM1_Breuk | $SIM1_Service | SIM1_Loopim
