Using the DeviceNet Tag Generator to Create Descriptive Controller
Tags (Optional)
DeviceNet controller tags are non-descriptive for I/O configurations in
RSLogix 5000 projects. However, the DeviceNet Tag Generator, a free
Rockwell software tool, can generate descriptive controller tags for basic
control I/O words (Logic Command/Status and Reference/Feedback) and
Datalinks. Additionally, Datalinks automatically take the name of the drive
parameter to which they are assigned.
Important: The DeviceNet Tag Generator will only create correct tag
names if the EDS file being used is downloaded from the
website (see
Downloading the EDS File from Rockwell
Automation Website on page 4-8
)—not created from the
network. Also, the DeviceNet Tag Generator is not supported
on PowerFlex 700S and PowerFlex 750-Series drives.
To use the DeviceNet Tag Generator, the following compatible
software is required.
The DeviceNet Tag Generator is only recommended when:
• A new DeviceNet system and/or new drive is being installed.
• Migration to required software is acceptable for an existing system or
application.
The free DeviceNet Tag Generator software is available for download on
the Rockwell Automation website
