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.
