Until the modules are configured, what is not available in the monitor or edit tags views of the controller scoped tags collection?

The monitor or edit tags views in a PLC controller's scoped tags collection are designed to provide access to specific information related to the operation and configuration of the PLC. Until the modules are configured, I/O tags are not available because they are directly related to the physical input and output modules that need to be set up first. Only once the modules are configured can the associated I/O tags be recognized and managed within the tags collection.

This means that essential data about the states of the physical inputs and outputs will remain unavailable until the corresponding modules—which interface with those inputs and outputs—are properly configured. Without this configuration, the system cannot ascertain the status or functionality of the I/O tags, hence they will not appear in the monitor or edit views.
