To import the tags into RSLogix 5000, you must be offline. Select
Tools/Import Tags and import the tag file.

For items in the Ethernet/IP configuration with a count greater than 1,
AN-X appends _1, _2, etc. to the tag name you supply in the
configuration file.

For example, if the configuration contains

,,,Node1Outputs,U8,2,1,O/0

with a count of 2, AN-X creates the tags

ALIAS,"","Node1Outputs_0","","","ANX:I.Data[0]"

ALIAS,"","Node1Outputs_1","","","ANX:I.Data[1]"

Using RSLogix 5000 to Diagnose Problems

To display the Module Properties dialog, right click on the module while
online with RSLogix 5000. This may help diagnosing some problems,
especially connection errors.

The following information is based on version 12.00 of RSLogix 5000.

General Tab

The Type should be ETHERNET MODULE Generic Ethernet Module

The Vendor should be Allen-Bradley (since it’s configured as a generic
module)

The name and description are whatever you set when you configured the
module.

Comm Format, IP Address and Connection Parameters should match
what you set when you configured the module.

Connection Tab

The Inhibit Module checkbox inhibits the module. It should not be
checked for normal operation.

The Major Fault on Controller if Connection Fails While in Run Mode
checkbox causes the module to fault the processor if the connection
between the ControlLogix processor and the module fails.

If there are any problems connecting to the AN-X-PBSLV module, there
will be an error message in the module fault area.
