Allen Bradley program tags

Post by ThatGuy »

Hi all.

I am new to iX, i have been given a beijer touch screen program that needs to be heavily modified to suit a new installation. I have set up communications to between the plc (1756 - L62 Allen Bradley) and I can access the controller tags, what I need to do is access the program tags. I have tried as much as I can think of and have googled it but haven't found anything of use.

Has any body had any experience with this?

Cheers

You are able to access the help section by going to Tags > Controllers> Settings > Help in the project.

Local Program Tags

To access local program tags use the syntax:

Scope:tag name

Example: Prog1:pump10

Note: Local program tags can not be accessed when using Micro 800 controllers.

Give this a try and see if you get what you are looking for.
