9.4.6 EtherNet/IP Tags
EtherNet/IP Tag can be used for data transfer among different controllers. Create the tags from global symbols in
ISPSoft. And then you can use tags to communication with Delta HMI and the 3
rd
party devices while they are attached to
the same EtherNet/IP network.
Tags can be further defined as Produced Tag and Consumed Tag.
1. Produced Tag: a tag that a controller makes available for other controller. Multiple controllers (EIP
scanner devices) can simultaneously consume (receive) the data. A produced tag sends its data to
consumed tags (consumers).
2. Consumed Tag: a tag that receives the data of a produced tag. The data type of the consumed tag and
the produced tag must be matched (including any array dimensions).
Before connecting to a Produced Tag, you should check the IP address and the names of the tags
(Produced Tag and Consumed Tag). One controller can have multiple Tags created, including produced
Tag and consumed Tag. See the example below:
