Test the Messaging

1. Open the session of RSLogix 5000 for the Producer and verify that

the timer is running.

2. In the RSLogix 5000 session for the Consumer controller:

a. Double-click on the Controller Tags folder and select the

Monitor Tags tab.

b. Examine the consumed_data field. You should see the value

changing in step with the accumulated value of the timer in the
Producer.

This completes the example of Logix5550 controller to Logix5550
messaging using produced/consumed tags.
