Example 2: Producing and consuming tags
Produced data must be of DINT or REAL data type or an array or structure.
You can use a user-defined structure to group BOOL, SINT, and INT data to
be produced. You can produce a base, alias, or consumed tag.
The consumed tag must have the same data type as the produced tag in the
originating controller. The controller performs type checking to ensure proper
data is being received.
This example shows DriveLogix1 as producing TagA and consuming TagB:
! EtherNet/IP
EtherNet/IP
workstation
! EtherNet/IP
DriveLogix1
TagA DINT
DriveLogix2 (controllerb)
TagA DINT
TagA TagB
