So in our plant we have a old tsx47 that's been giving us problems for the last month. Its connected to a parker ctc screen via a rs232 connection about 75 feet away. The plc is mostly putting valves and motors in HOA... So the programming is fairly simple. I want to replace the tsx with a ab 5000... But have never integrated one with a ctc screen... We have plenty of slc500s with ctcs, but no 5000. So my real question is how do I reference the tags in a 5000 vs the slc 500? Thanks for any and all help.

If your HMI won't support tag-based addressing, you have to make the Control/CompactLogix talk like a SLC/PLC. In your RSLogix 5000 project, go to Logic->Map PLC/SLC Messages... To connect to the N7 register, for instance, you would set the file number to 7 and assign it a controller tag that's an INT array. The HMI should talk to those tags as though it were talking to the N7 registers of a SLC. I had to do this recently to connect a 1756-L55 to a PanelView 300 Micro.
