Red Lion/CompactLogix addressing question

I am using a Red Lion G310 with a CompactLogix PLC and the "Allen-Bradley Native Tags via L5K File Enhanced" driver. I can import and use the tags just fine from the L5K file, but I am wondering if you can use the Allen Bradley hardware addressing also. I can't seem to figure it out.

For example, I can set an indicator to be controlled by [PLC1.ExampleTag], but it doesn't seem to work if I use [PLC1.Local:1:I.Data.0]. Is there some special syntax that I need to use, or is this just not possible?

Thanks for any help.

I don't think it is possible to address them directly. I always create Aliases for them.

Zlinger, I would recommend buffering the I/O tags regardless as the IO scan is asynchronous to the PLC scan. Specifically in your case, I believe the colon ":" in the tag name is what hangs up Crimson software.

This is from the Red Lion Tech Notes page, very useful. Not quite sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but I figured it was worth a shot. Comes in handy!
