Select the controller tags to view the three INT input and output tags for the drive.
The layout for the three input and output INTs for input assembly 73 and output
assembly 23 are shown later in this section.
Eaton also provides a tag generation tool that generates I/O tags for your Eaton
EtherNet/IP slave devices. This software tool generates a CSV file containing all the
I/O tags that can then be imported into RSLogix5000. These tags are automatically
aliased to the generic I/O tags created by RSLogix5000. The generic tags shown above
for the PowerXL DG1 drive are an example.
This means you will not have to type any data into the Controller tags area for your
Eaton EtherNet/IP products. The imported tags will match the layouts for the I/O
assemblies chosen and displayed later in this section and can be used directly in your
programs. This tool and a user manual can be downloaded from the Eaton website at

configuration necessary in the drive with regard to I/O assemblies or data lengths.
