I'm just having a little problem exporting tags, some of my tags have arrays.

I can export but I only seem to get the tag and not the complete array.

I can't find a setting in options, I guess its someting stupid RSlogix 5000 V19.01

Many Thanks
 
The tag IS the array - the export only gives you the tag structure, not the contents - see the pic

Don't know if I understand what you are looking for that daba did not show, but if you are wanting the actual data from the array, you can export the whole program as a L5K file and there will be a section for tags that contains the array definitions and the data in the array. It would look something like this:


TAG
ct : DateTime (Description := "Current Wallclock DateTime") := [2011,5,6,11,17,12,465166];
CurrentMovingAverage : REAL (RADIX := Float) := 9.69449580e-001;
MAVEDataArray : REAL[40] (RADIX := Float) := [2.79415637e-001,9.58924234e-001,0.00000000e+000,2.82240182e-001,0.00000000e+000,1.68294179e+000

,0.00000000e+000,5.60519386e-044,2.50000000e-002];
MyResetTrigger : BOOL (RADIX := Decimal) := 0;
ResetMAVE : BOOL (RADIX := Decimal) := 0;
SampleTimer : TIMER := [-1071572748,1000,978];
END_TAG
 
You may also get what you are looking for by selecting multiple rungs and right click on left border and export. When you import into a new program it will also recreate the tags and data in the new program. If there are any UDTs they will also be created before inserting the tags with data.

In the controller organizer you can also select to import/export complete routines, which will work on items other than ladder.
