Chapter 6 Define a tag component
110 Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-RM084S-EN-P - March 2015
Produced tag attributes
A produced tag has these attributes, and those for a standard tag.
Attribute Description
ProduceCount Specify the number of consumers allowed with any positive number.
In L5X, this attribute is on the <ProduceInfo> element.
MinimumRPI Specify the smallest and fastest packet interval at which consumers may consume data from
the tag (0.196...536870.911 and 1...536870.911 for CompactLogix).
MaximumRPI Specify the largest and slowest packet interval at which consumers may consume data from
the tag (0.196...536870.911).
DefaultRPI Specify a default RPI that the produced tag provides value to consumers that attempt to
connect with an out-of-range RPI (0.196...536870.911).
Consumed tag attributes
A consumed tag also has these attributes, in addition to those for a standard tag.
Important:
If consumed information is provided on an alias tag, the alias tag is converted to a base tag before it can
consume data.
Attribute Description
Producer If the controller consumes this tag, specify the name of the remote controller that produces this tag. You
must also specify RemoteTag and RPI attributes.
In L5X, this attribute is on the <ConsumeInfo> element.
RemoteTag If the controller consumes this tag from a controller that supports tag names, specify the name of the tag
on the remote controller. You must also specify Producer and RPI attributes.
In L5X, this attribute is on the <ConsumeInfo> element.
RemoteFile If the controller consumes this tag from a PLC-5 controller, specify the PLC-5 file number, as any positive
number, on the PLC-5 controller. You must also specify Producer and RPI attributes.
In L5X, this attribute is on the <ConsumeInfo> element.
RPI If the controller consumes this tag, specify the RPI value in milliseconds, as any positive number. You
must also specify Producer and RemoteTag attributes.
In L5X, this attribute is on the <ConsumeInfo> element.
