Connecting Allen-Bradley PLC to Project

Hi, I am pretty new to Ignition and was needing some guidants. I am struggling to connect My Allen-Bradley CompactLogix PLC to my project, and I was needing some help with this. I have tried to connect it with the Config --> OPC UA --> Device Connections --> Create new Device... --> Allen-Bradley Logix Driver, but after that my device says that its Idle on the connection and the device is enabled but when I go to my project and under tags there is nothing? I would really like some guidants on this it would really help.

Thanks

Tags in Ignition are not automatically created, because they are more than just PLC data. (There are multiple types of internal Ignition tags, for various purposes.) You normally would create tag folders in Ignition, then use the OPC browser to drag-n-drop tags from the PLC to your application's tag folders. (Many newbies drag everything from the OPC browser over to the Ignition tags, but that will crush your communications. Don't do it.)

Have you gone through any of the Inductive University free training? It is intended for newcomers, to cover all these basics.

Firmware in the controller.

Is it connected directly via Ethernet? Or is it connected through another controller?

Is the device and the Ignition Gateway on the same sub net?

Is there any type of network hardware in the connection path such as a NAT?
