ControlLogix Alias Tags

WARNING!
Ensure that any check box that refers to Unicast connections is
unchecked.
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 a Modicon address changes, all you have to do is re-import
the tags.
If you change the Modicon or ControlLogix configuration, re-import
tags so that the ControlLogix processor uses the correct addresses.
There are two sets of tag files, one for the exclusive owner connection
and one for the input only connection.
In the web interface, select Automation Network/View Configuration
Files.
To view the files, click either AN-X-MOD Ethernet/IP ControlLogix
Exclusive Owner Data Tags or AN-X-MOD Ethernet/IP ControlLogix
Input Only Data Tags.
To save the file to your computer, right click on the link and select Save
