IMPORTANT! 

Ensure that any check box that refers to Unicast connections is 
unchecked. 

 

ControlLogix Alias Tags 

AN-X uses the Ethernet/IP configuration 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 an I/O address changes, all you have to do is re-import the 
tags. 

 

WARNING! 

If you change the remote I/O or ControlLogix configuration, re-import 
tags so that the ControlLogix processor uses the correct addresses. 

 

There are two sets of tag files, one for exclusive owner connections and 
one for input only connections. 

In the web interface, select 

Automation Network/View Configuration 

Files

. 

To view the files, click either 

AN-X-TI Ethernet/IP ControlLogix 

Exclusive Owner Data Tags

 or 

AN-X-TI Ethernet/IP ControlLogix Input 

Only Data Tags
