Monitoring I/O
ControlLogix Alias Tags
AN-X uses the S908 remote I/O and ControlLogix configurations to create alias tags that
can be imported into RSLogix 5000. Use these tags in your RSLogix 5000 program to
access the data on the AN-X. Even if the ControlLogix address for a Modicon address
changes, all you have to do is re-import the tags to point to the current I/O data.
WARNING!
If you change the Modicon I/O or ControlLogix configuration, re-import
tags so that the ControlLogix processor uses the correct addresses.
