Tip: The Advanced button is available for controllers using version 18
and later of the application.
8. Click OK to close the Produced Tag Connection dialog box.
9. Click OK to close the Tag Properties dialog box.
The consumed tag receives data of a produced tag. The data type of the
consumed tag must match the data type (including any array dimensions) of
the produced tag.
Before you begin:
• Add the controller that is producing the data to the Controller
Organizer I/O Configuration folder.
To create a consumed tag:
1. Open the Logix Designer application and choose a controller.
Important:
A controller can have both producing and consuming tags, but a
producer cannot consume its own data. The local controller is the
consumer, and the remote controller is the producer.
2. In the Controller Organizer, right-click Controller Tags and click
Edit Tags.
You can consume only controller-scoped tags.
