Tag Database to Excel spreadsheet

[MIControl]

I need to export some of the tags from a Control Logix processor to an Excel spreadsheet. I don't need a live link or to download back to the PLC for any reason. We are just looking to generate a spreadsheet for and I/O check out. We are reactivating a machine that has been idle and potentially cannibalized for the last several years so everything needs to be checked before we can try to hit the GO button.

You are probably going to have to export all or most of them, then sort through them yourself. Open your program, go to Tools > Export > Tags and Logic Comments.

I say most/all because you can select "controller tags" to eliminate any tags that are not controller scope, but often the bulk of the tags are this scope anyway.

Thanks. I just found that option, but I was hoping there was some sort of Copy/Paste option.

I'll give that a try.

okay, I exported the file, but how can I find where it is stored?

 

[MIControl]

never mind. I found it.

Thanks for the help.
