Studio 5000 & RsLogix 5000 Produced and Consumed Tags
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- In Controllogix and Compactlogix PLCs, produced and consumed tags take place of messaging instructions for relaying information between two Allen Bradley PLCs. Additionally produced and consumed tags are deterministic compared to a MSG message instructions making them a much more reliable means of communications.

Your timing is always perfect. Just ran into a issue in our new can plant that I needed to figure out why are produce and consumes werent working. This was a great video and now required watching for the new guys and gals in the shop.
Great to hear Jacob!
I sincerely thank you for your descriptive explanation and for solving our problems.
Glad I could help out!
Great video.
Thanks!
Many thanks for your time ❤
muito top os videos.obrigado teacher
You are welcome.
This is a great video but I'm looking to find the used bits in a plc. Do you have a video showing how to find the open hard wired bits available to use?
Right click, cross reference and look at the destructive column to have a Y in it. Also there when you're selecting them, they are dark gray if they have already been used and life gray if not
Good video but video froze at the end part when you were explaining tag types and monitoring.
Yes, didn't realize it until after I posted it, I'll get it fixed and re-uploaded
Quick question about this. As far as traffic over the network, do MSG or produced/consumed tags have a larger bandwidth?
I don't know. I would think it would have more to do with the consumed RPI compared to the sample rate of the MSG than the actual packet size.
tags used by HMI, consumed or produced? how to search them in logix5000?
They would only show up as base tags in Studio 5000.
Very Cool thank you Tim!
You are welcome
Hey Tim, is there an advantage to using produce/consume tags vs. msg instructions, to send info between plcs? Network wise?
Yes, produced/consumed tags are "deterministic" meaning you will know if it fails. MSG instructions are limited on number and don't take the priority of produced/consumed tags.

heh Tim, Thanks very much for this video on Producer/Consumer tags. I'm taking my first RSLogix PLC course this term at school, and for today's lab the Instructor was explaining on how we set up 2 RSLogix PLCs for Master and Slave communication. The lab involved in removing the processor for the Slave PLC and then adding all the I/O modules of the Slave PLC to the Master PLC. The goal was to be able to have the Master PLC operate the I/O assigned to the Slave PLC. I kinda got lost in this lab, so I was wondering do you have a video that describes how to set up this type of operation? Unfortunately our lab manual does not go through and explain the set up process very well. Thanks again for these videos, they have really helped me out. Justin
Glad our videos have been helpful Justin. What PLC were you using?
@@TimWilborne Heh Tim. I am using the RSLogix5000 (Studio 5000 Logix Designer) with the 1756-A10 chassis and the 1756-L81E ControlLogix Processor.
I think this is what information you're looking for. Thanks again Justin
@@justinmartin4751 For just a remote chassis, you wouldn't use the Produced and Consumed tags. Just right click Ethernet under IO Configuration then New Module.
Is there a way to detect timeout easily using this method?
Yes, you can use the GSV instruction to see the IO light.
Thanks
You are welcome!
thank you for all your videos - do you have training sessions and where are you located - thanks
We do in person training in Roanoke, VA. See link below.

Your video froze up as you were monitoring the tags for troubleshooting.
Oh no! Did you happen to catch the time?
@@TimWilborne it started earlier, but pretty much everything after about 18:33
@@timcombs7646 Not sure what happened, the rough draft has it but sure enough, this one doesn't. Thanks for pointing it out.
what about float or real tags
What is your question about them?
Do those function the same in rs5000?
Yes they do John.
do you sell your trainers - thank you
Yes we do Bruce. See link below.
