Produce and Consume a Tag
A Logix 5000™ controller lets you produce (broadcast) and consume
(receive) system-shared tags.
Term Definition
Produced tag A tag that a controller makes available for use by other controllers. Multiple
controllers can simultaneously consume (receive) the data. A produced tag sends
its data to one or more consumed tags (consumers) without using logic.
Consumed tag A tag that receives the data of a produced tag. The data type of the consumed tag
must match the data type (including any array dimensions) of the produced tag. The
RPI of the consumed tag determines the period at which the data updates.
