Thanks Tim!
I'm doing a company provided e-learning course in preparation for a new job. All was well until I got to the tag thingy. I'll check out your Studio 5000 series and make my way to your patreon....

Thanks Tim for you excellent Videos.
I'm wondering is there any way to change the Alias Tag's address in Runtime?

Is an alias tag always a bool? I noticed the option to change the data type went gray when you chose alias instead of base

Hi Tim, when I created an alias for the input button, I didn't get the option of "controller", so I used "Local Tag". However, after downloading the program to the PLC and go to the Controller Tags in the Organizer, I don't see the newly named tags. I only see them if I go to and Local Tags. Can you tell me why "controller" is not a Usage option in this case?

Tim, I am not sure if you already have a video explaining the differences between local tags and controller tags. I always see comments from people online that say you should use one over the other. Would you be able to explain when you should use a local tag instead of controller tag and vice versa?

Very informative video Tim thanks for the explanation. When I create a new tag and alias it to an input, I notice that the alias does not show up under the tag in brackets, but holding the mouse over it will show its alias.

Is there a way to show the alias tag underneath, like in the video?

trying to toggle input on, but it will not turn on and the date table will not receive a 1.
This CLX 1756-l71 PLCv21 has in the rack with 1756 IB16, 1756 OB16, 1755 IB32, 1756 ENBT/A

2.
But there is also an PV 1000HMI  also in these cabinet could this be use instead of real field device connected.
Trying to follow a class  but not matching when I look at rack.
any help thanks.

I can't understand how to link an I/O instruction in a routine to a specific I/O module in your PLC. It was so easy in RSlogix500, simply typing the address manually (such as I:0/0)... Maybe I missed something?

Do you have any thoughts on aliasing versus tying and input to a defined tag by useful coil as you would do when using RS500 programming?
