Produce and Consume a Tag
28 Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-PM011J-EN-P - February 2018
The Consuming controller must be set up to allow its consumed tags to
accept an RPI provided by the producer. Use the Advanced tab in the
Controller Properties dialog box to set up the controller.
Important:
For controllers running Logix Designer releases v17 or earlier that
contain consumers of a producer from Compact GuardLogix 5380,
CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, ControlLogix 5580, or
GuardLogix 5580 controller, verify that all multicast consumed tags of
a produce tag are configured with the same RPI. If they are not, some
consumers will fail to connect. See
RPI limitations and negotiated
default on page 23 for more information.
To set up the consuming controller:
1. In the Controller Organizer, right-click the controller that has been
set up with a consuming tag and click Properties.
The Controller Properties dialog box opens.
