Produce and Consume a Tag
Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-PM011J-EN-P - February 2018 21
Important:
Consuming controllers have additional setup to allow its consuming
tags to use an RPI provided by a producing controller. Refer to Set
RPI Limits, Default for Producer Tag for details.
10. If applicable, clear the Use Unicast Connection check box to use a
Multicast connection.
A Unicast connection is the default unless you are configuring a
standard consumed tag and the communication path between the
producer and consumer does not cross EtherNet/IP or is across the
backplane. Then the check box is cleared and unavailable.
11. Click the Status tab to configure the status properties for the consumed
tags.
12. In the Data Type box, select the data type that allows for connection
status.
13. Click OK to close the Consumed Tag Connection dialog box.
14. Click OK to close the Tag Properties dialog box.
Tip:
If you consume the tag over a ControlNet network, use RSNetWorx for
ControlNet software to schedule the network.
