Complete these steps to enter application tags.
Review Application Tags
The sample application uses read and write tags to define how objects interact with the addresses of a
MicroLogix 1100 controller. You must create these tags before you can assign them to objects in the
application. Only objects that interact with the controller require a tag. Objects such as screen navigation
buttons, drawings, and screen text do not require tags.
The same tags are used when communicating to a MicroLogix 1100 controller using DF1 or Ethernet
communication.
Refer to this table when entering your application tags.
