Howdy all. Should be an easy one but im pulling out my hairs here.
I have a motor i want to start with a button on the factorytalk screen. Now this is a new tag that isn't in the HMI Tags/Tags folder. All I want is to see this new tag. I have been reading and reading about it and am having no luck. I want to either add it to the tags or just see the tags in the controller. (RSLogix5000). Now everything i read says dont import tags just use them from the offline PLC file. This is where im hitting a brick wall. How do I see these tags from the file?
Here's a copy of advice from plc.net
You don't have to import tags like this way.
In the communication-setup tab, you can point FT view to the off-line RSLogix5000 program file.
Where is this communication-setup tab. I have the offline file but I dont know where to set it up to be viewed. YAARRGG.
Thanks for any help, much appreciated.
