AB Point I/O aliased tags to C-more

[bwiring]

Is there a way to import tags form RS5K to C-more database that are aliased to AB Point I/O. When I import tags all tags associated with the Point I/O are "unsupported data type"
at the end of the import to the C-more.

I am using a compactlogix 1769-l30er plc and a 15" cmore ea9-t15cl hmi. The software is studio 5k version 21 mini edition and cmore programing software version 5, revision 5.

There are some application notes which will probably help you:

Alias tags to I/O are not imported automatically, but they can be created manually, or by the spreadsheet method described there.

OpZed,Thanks for the help. I tried the spread sheet method and it appears to have worked. I will test on the system tomorrow.

Thanks for the link OpZed. I'm Currently working on a project using the 10" C-more which is talking to a P3000 PLC. This will certainly come in handy sometime as we also use a of logix PLC's for our projects. One thing which troubles me with C-more is that tag updates tend to get terribly slow with a large tag database. Is there a way to make the tag updates any faster? I have approximately 9000 tags in the tag database. I tried to play with the polling time in panel manager but nothing seems to work. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Same link, there is an app note for that also.

Thanks OpZed. after looking at the tech note, I guess we cannot do much because we are using a lot of popup window frames and also visibilty control in the project.

Cheers,
