Why do not all of the tags show up for contrologix? How am I supposed to adress these? I can’t get any of these tags to work at the bit level.

I just noticed that the OPC Item path in the General Properties section is: [CBFilling\_CTRLGX]Global.HMI\_Alarms[2] which is in the global controller tags and the scope shown in the RSLogix 5000 software is Michelin\_Sealed\_Bin.

Does the Michelin\_Sealed\_Bin folder show in the OPC Browser?

I’m unable to reproduce the problem on this end.

Can we setup a GotoMeeting?

This was solved by deleting the .tags file located in the context/main/drivers/ sub directory of where Ignition is installed. After the file is deleted, click on refresh browse for the the device in the Gateway.

This issue will be solved in the next release.

Thank you,
