What file format must be used?
I don't understand the question. RsLogix 5000 uses ACD files and Panelbuilder uses a PBA file or a PVA file if it has been uploaded from the Panelview.

I have many aliases. How would the tag name and tag address differ.
Would I use the alias in the tag address?
Please assist.
I have never tried to use alias addressing in a Standard Panelview but I believe it would work, unfortunately I do not have a Standard Panelview to try this on right now. Whether it works or not, you would address it just like you do any other Controllogix tag
With regard to file format, I was speaking of the data file. Since N7s, B3s, and F8s aren't standard data files in ControlLogix, how do I make reference to the tags?
When communicating with SLC500 or PLC5, I reference N7:0 or N7:0.3 for example.
My project is almost complete but I am not able to connect, download, and test until two days before customer FAT test, so I was wanting some clarification. Currently the "tag name" and "tag address" are the same in PanelBuilder32, such as F_EU_FT1, which was imported from the ControlLogix database.
Some of the Data types did not import. It looks like the TYPE=TAG imported the data types but the TYPE=ALIAS did not import a data type.
