Since its rare to P/C a single tag and instead to use an array or a UDT, I create these I use the naming format PLCNAME1toPLCNAME2 for the tag array at both ends. That way just from the name you know the source and destination of that tag group.

Tim, great video. I have a quick question. Is this basically the same thing as using a MSG instruction? In what situation would you want to use one or the other if so? Thanks.

Good question, I was wondering the same thing.

Not exactly the same thing, Produced and Consumed tags a deterministic which basically means they are the same as I/O being connected "directly" to the PLC. Messaging instructions are more of lobbing notes across a wall. Great question Billy!

Produced and consumed example is a p/e is easier and closer to wire to an i/o card from one plc but it is controlling a conveyor controlled by another plc. Sound right, Tim?

Is it possible to create produce consume to plc in online

No, offline only. If you can't interrupt the process, you could use the MSG instruction.
