Importing tags from a PLC database

To open the PLC Database Browser, click the Other DB button in the
Tag Browser or click the DB Browser button on the toolbar in the Tag
Database editor.

Use the PLC Database Browser to selectively import tags from an
Allen–Bradley PLC database into the RSView32 tag database. Tags
imported in this way are copied into the database—they are not shared
with the source database. This means changes to tags in RSView32 do
not affect the database from which they have been imported and vice
versa.

You can import tags from any of these databases:

legacy PLC databases, created using WINtelligent LOGIC 5

or

A.I.

5, with file extension .dsc

RSLogix

5

and RSLogix 500

, saved as an external database, with

file extension .ctd

RSLogix 5 internal database, with file extension .rsp

RSLogix 500 internal database, with file extension .rss

RSLogix Frameworks database, with file extension .fma or .fmb
