Produce and Consume Tags (Interlock Controllers) 5-9
Consume a Tag
Logix5000 controllers can only consume controller-scoped user-created tags
from another controller’s tag structure. The Logix5000 controllers cannot
consume I/O tags or tags aliased to I/O tags. Follow the steps below to
consume a tag:
1. Open the RSLogix 5000 project that contains the controller that you
want to consume the produced tag.
2. Make the sure the controller producing the tag to be consumed is in the
consuming controller’s I/O configuration, as shown in the example
below. Additionally, make sure the Communication Format for the
remote ControlNet module is None.
3. Access the edit tab of the controller tags.
4. Create the tag you want to consume.
IMPORTANT
You can only create consumed tags when your RSLogix
5000 project is offline.
