How to Alias Tags in Studio 5000, Common Pitfalls in PLC Programming & Commenting as Best Practice

In RSLogix and Studio 5000, you’ll find a feature called Tag Aliasing that allows the user to create a tag of a different name with a reference to a base tag. Although this practice is often used to create tags with meaningful descriptions, it often leads to confusion, unnecessary complexity and can be easily avoided through proper commenting.

In this episode, we review how tag aliasing is used, what are the pitfalls of approaching tag naming this way and what alternative options are available to make your tags descriptive.
