ABCIP Main Driver Sheets vs Standard Driver Sheets

Admin
This sample application shows the difference between using the ABCIP driver to read several tags using a Main Driver Sheet compared to reading the tags using Standard Driver Sheets instead.

  • Looking at the Help file, I see the naming convention for a Program scope string tag is:
    STRING ROGRAM:MAINPROGRAM.HMI_STRING

    This is a ControlLogix tag, so there are actually two parts
    Program roduct_Scanners1.LOT_NUMBER.DATA[81]
    Program roduct_Scanners1.LOT_NUMBER.LEN

    The item I have entered is:
    STRING ROGRAM RODUCT_SCANNERS1.LOT_NUMBER

    I am unable to read the string

    What is the correct format to read the string value from a PLC into a String Tag
