About this Product

This User Guide describes the use of Tag Generator software that creates a tag file for import into Logix Designer/RSLogix 5000 or TIA Portal software.
This document is intended for use by those familiar with the configuration of communication networks for industrial and commercial applications. The user should be familiar with Logix Designer/RSLogix 5000 and/or TIA Portal software and Yaskawa AC drives.
The Tag Generator software produces a tag file, (*.CSV) for subsequent import to Logix Designer/RSLogix 5000 projects or, in the case of TIA Portal projects, a (*.XLSX) file for PROFIBUS and PROFINET. Tag Generator software reduces implementation time for PLC connected Yaskawa drives utilizing EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, PROFINET, or PROFIBUS communications protocols.
