Read Controller Tags There are two ASP functions you can use to read controller tags:
Function: ReadLogixTag(path, tagname, tagtype)
The ReadLogixTag function connects to a controller at a specified
path , retrieves the value of a tag with a name tagname and of
tagtype .
Parameters:
Example: For example, retrieve a DINT tag named ’my_dint_tag’ from a
controller in slot 3 of the local chassis:
<p> "my_dint_tag" value:
<% ReadLogixTag("1,3", "my_dint_tag", "DINT"); %>
</p>
Function: ReadLogixTagUnconnected(path, tagname, tagtype)
The ReadLogixTagUnconnected function performs the same task as
ReadLogixTag function and uses the same parameters. This function,
however, retrieves the tag value through unconnected messaging,
rather than connected messaging.
If You Want Use This ASP Function See Page
