Example 3: Sending MSG Instructions
You configure a MSG instruction to a Logix5550 controller the same as you
do for a DriveLogix controller. All Logix-based controllers follow the same
MSG configuration requirements. See Example 2 above.
Configuring a MSG instruction for a PLC-5 controller depends on the
originating controller.
For MSG instructions originating from the DriveLogix controller to the
ControlNet PLC-5 controller:
The PLC-5 controller supports logical ASCII addressing so you do not have
to map a compatibility file for MSG instructions initiated by a PLC-5
controller. Place the DriveLogix tag name in double quotes (“).
Example 3: Producing and Consuming Tags
You can produce and consume tags with any Logix controller the same as
you do with a DriveLogix controller. All Logix controllers follow the same
requirements for producing and consuming tags. See Example 2 above.
