7. In the Max Consumers box, enter a value.
Important: The Advanced button on the right-hand side of the Produced Tag Connection dialog box
appears only for controllers using version 18 and later of the application. This button opens the
Advanced Options dialog box to set the RPI range limitation, negotiated default, or unicast
connection. See Additional steps for a PLC-5C controller on page 17 for details and procedures.
8. Click OK.
Follow these steps to create a consumer tag.
1. Open the Logix Designer application and choose a controller.
Important: A controller can have both producing and consuming tags, but a producer cannot consume its
own data. The local controller is the consumer, and the remote controller is the producer.
2. In the Controller Organizer I/O Configuration folder, add the controller
that is producing the data (the other Logix5000 controller or PLC-5C
controller).
3. In the Controller Organizer, right-click the Controller Tags folder and
click Edit Tags.
You can produce only controller-scoped tags.
