Organize Tags With a Logix5000 controller, you use a tag (alphanumeric name) to
address data (variables). In Logix5000 controllers, there is no fixed,
numeric format. The tag name itself identifies the data. This lets you:
• organize your data to mirror your machinery
• document (through tag names) your application as you
develop it
When you create a tag, you assign the following properties to the tag:
• tag type
• data type
• scope
For more information... The Logix5000 Controllers Common Procedures Manual, 1756-PM001
provides information on how to:
• define tags
• create tags, arrays, and user-defined structures
• address tags
• create aliases to tags
• assign indirect addresses
