This controller is going to own modules that are remotely located. A path to the target ControlNet Bridge must be made first (in this case, Node 5 on the CNet network at slot 0 of its chassis. This connection is using Rack-Optimization to reduce network connections. RSLogix 5000 automatically creates the tag C00N05:I for all possible inputs on that remote chassis. The Slot[0-9] represents each slots data according to the size of the chassis (in this case, a 10-slot chassis). An input module on slot 5 of that chassis would have its data and faults at C00N05:I.Slot[5]. When the final destination path to the actual input module being owned is created on a remote chassis, Alias Tags are automatically created.
Base I/O tag
The Alias Tags get their information from the Base Tag C00N05:I.Slot[5] and insert that data into 00N05:5:1.Data
