When the post says to "add a Control logix gateway", do they mean that the tags will need to be read into the Control Logix or is there a way to navigate through the gateway to the other devices to pull tags?
That would seem like a lot of traffic on the controlnet, so they mean just whatever is on the control logix will get pulled in right?
Sorry to ask such simple questions. I don't want to make any painful or expensive mistakes.
The link about the connection paths did not work for me.
So I think maybe if I had that, it would make more sense to me.

Can't read a compact logix control net system
Anyone have a better option than this adapter?

controlnet to OPC UA

Requires setting the tags that are desired to pass through it though.

I wanted to see what it said though. It was in one of the similar posts.
Thought maybe I could get a solution there.
