CIP Services and User-created Tags
This chapter describes processes that CIP clients use when interacting with
Logix 5000 controller data. The processes are:
•
Finding the controller-scope tags that are created in a Logix 5000
controller
•
Isolating user created tags from system tags and identify structured tags
•
Locating the structure template for a specific structure
•
Determining the structure makeup of a specific structure
•
Determining the data packing of the members of a structure when
accessed as a whole and not member by a member.
•
Determining when to refresh the list of tags and structure information

If a tag is structure
