I'm working on a project that was converted from RSLogix500 to RSLogix5000. The converted RSLogix5000 program has most of the Tags setup using Alias's referencing the RSLogix500 data format such as B3:0/0, etc. I'm going through the program giving all of these tags descriptive names, while leaving the alias in place. My question is, would it be best to remove the alias and go back to a base tag. I've read that the alias tags can get jumbled on an upload if you don't have the orginal project file. I believe the primary reason the tags where all set up with RSLogix 500 aliases was to make the program conversion easier.
I'm going to alias the I/O and fault routine bits, that part I understand, I'm just not quite sure what the ramifications of changing an alias tag back to base tags is (I'm talking over 200 tags). At this point I'm not even sure if it's worth doing. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
