The port is the communications route from ControlLogix. The value for the port
should always be 1, which specifies the ControlLogix backplane. Other numbers

specify different communications routes from ControlLogix.
The value for the slot is the slot number in the ControlLogix chassis where the
CPU module is installed. These slots start from 0 and are numbered from left to

right in the ControlLogix chassis.
Click OK.



4) Click OK again to close the Producer List and return to the variable

properties dialog.

5) You can create multiple records for a single producer; this may be useful if you

expect the role of the producer controller to be divided between multiple

controllers in the future. Each record will have a unique name, and will share

the same path.

Note: If you make a mistake, you can edit a record to change the device name or

its path, but you cannot delete a record. If a record is no longer needed, change its
name to an obvious description.

4) Choose the producer for the variable from the drop-down list.

The Path to Producer field shows the address of the producer as defined in
the Producer List.

5) Set the Remote Tag Name to the name of the variable as it is known to the

Logix controller.

6) Set the RPI field to the requested packet interval, or accept the default. This value

is specified in milliseconds. Do not set the RPI to less than 200ms at the current

release.

7) Click OK.
8) The configuration of the variable as a consumer is now complete.
