Use the Select File Name button to enter the file location.
If you are using monitor mode to develop your application, check the Create Temp Array
Alias Tags checkbox. You should also create an array of 250 INTs with name
TempPvxOutputArray in the ControlLogix.
Click OK to create the alias file.
WARNING!
If you change the I/O or ControlLogix configuration, re-import aliases so
that the ControlLogix processor uses the correct addresses and clear the
ControlLogix output table so that values don’t get written to incorrect
addresses.
Importing Aliases in RSLogix 5000
To import the alias file into RSLogix 5000, you must be offline. Select Tools/Import…
and import the alias file.
TIP
If you have changed mode on the QTS-CLX-PVX, delete any aliases
you previously imported into RSLogix 5000 before you import the new
aliases.
Alias Format
ClxPvxCfg builds each alias name from the Module name and address information
supplied by the configuration program
The ControlLogix data address is built from the RSLinx Path Specifier you enter and the
data mappings created by the configuration program.
For example,
ALIAS,"","D3R_Mas_AI_F01C01C01","D3R_Mas_AI_F01C01C01","","Local:0:I.Data[2]""
In this example, the module is in slot 0. The alias is for an analog input at PROVOX
address File 1, card 1, channel 1, which is mapped to ControlLogix address input data at
offset 2. The module name is D3R_Mas.
To build the alias name, ClxPvxCfg appends an underscore and F01C01C01 to the
module name. The module is in slot 0 of the local chassis so the alias data address is
Local:0:I.Data[2]
