Addressing Examples
The following are examples of legal addressing syntax (note that all tag names shown here are just
examples of legal tag names in the ControlLogix PLC family)
Tag Name
Data Type
Machine_Speed
BOOL, INT, DINT, SINT, REAL
Tank_22_Parameters[25]
BOOL, INT, DINT, SINT, REAL
Tank_3_Parameters[244].07
INT, DINT, SINT
Tank_3_Parameters[522].14
INT, DINT
Tank_3_Parameters[18].25
DINT
Limit_switch_status
Alias for any legal data type
Box_sensor
Alias for any legal data type
Part_count_machine1_shift3.ACC
COUNTER or TIMER
Zone3_Extruder5_Temp.PV
PID
Zone3_Extruder5_Temp.CTL
PID
Controller1.POS
CONTROL
message31.REQ_LEN
MESSAGE
Main_program:Counter.pre
COUNTER within a Program tag
First_Floor:Tank[0].0
INT within a Program tag
The following are examples of illegal addressing syntax (here again all tag names are just examples). We
recommend mapping these data types to supported data types within the processor.
Tag Name
Illegal Reason
Machine Speed
spaces in tag name are not allowed in ControlLogix
Tank_22_Parameters[25][33]
only single-dimension arrays are supported in
PanelMate’s ControlNet interface
Machine1.motor_amps
User-defined data types are not supported in PanelMate’s
ControlNet interface
drive14.MotionStatus.7
AXIS data type is not supported in PanelMate’s
ControlNet interface
Local:3:I.Fault
Local I/O cannot be accessed directly.
Motor_Speed[0].acc.0
Bits within a structure like the accumulator in a timer
cannot be accessed directly.
