Importing I/O Tags from Logix5 to C-more EA9

[ConnorCM371]

I cannot seem to find a solution as to how to import I/O tags from RSLogix onto C-more. Bits and counters populate just fine, but there is no I/O.

Furthermore when I went to add them all in manually, I saw that discrete variable bits are only able to have bits up to 15 even though Logix labels bits up to 17 since 8-9 are skipped. This means Inputs like I:0/16 and I:0/17 cannot be created as tags in Cmore...

Any help with either of these issues would be great!

I can't help you with this specific application, but in general terms, I would avoid addressing I/O directly on any HMI, from any PLC. There are way too many problems caused, and many of them wind up being very difficult to troubleshoot.

Always map to/from an N register for HMI work. That will at least resolve the bit-numbering issue.

You may want to test any bits 9 and above. PLC5 uses octal addressing and the CMORE driver *MAY* use decimal addressing. If that is the case, I:0/16 in the PLC 5 would actually being I:0/14. I do not know if this is in fact the case, since I don't have a PLC5 laying around to test, but it would be a worth exploring.
