Tag Name Conventions
Module Tag Definitions
Topic
Module tags are created when you add a module to the Studio 5000 Logix
Designer application project.
The set of module tags that are associated with a module depends on the
module type and Module Definition choices that are made during module
configuration. For example, if you use a Listen Only Connection in the Module
Definition, the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application creates only Input tags
for that module.
The following types of tags are available with POINT I/O modules:
•
Configuration
•
Input
•
Output
The tables contained in this section list all tags available with a module. Not all
tags in the list are used when that module type is added to a project. Tag use
varies by module configuration.
The module tag names use defined naming conventions. The conventions are
as follows:
Example tag name = AENTR_IP85:1:I.Data
•
AENTR_IP85 = name of the POINT I/O EtherNet/IP adapter in the
POINT I/O system.
•
1 = slot number
•
I = tag type
The possible POINT I/O analog module tag types are C (configuration),
I (input), and O (output).
•
Data = tag function
In this case, Data represents the input data that is returned to the owner-
controller.
