Consumed/Produced with UDT

3 posts in this topic

Hello, long time ago I used Consumed/Produced Tags packed in UDT with some data about communication. It contained e.g. fault code. Now I cannot find any manual which describes how to make such UDT. Do you know about manual which describe this? My aim is to get the info about losing communication with source PLC (consumer). regards, Luke

Hi Luke, You are probably thinking of an option which was introduced in RSLogix 5000 v17. It is described in RA Knowledgebase Article ID # 60813, and I assume also in the Release Notes for RSLogix 5000 v17. https://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60813 (TechConnect required) When you create a UDT that will be a Produced Tag, make the first element of the UDT a datatype "CONNECTION_STATUS". That tag will have two usable BOOL subelements: RunMode and ConnectionFaulted.
