16 SoftLogix Controller

Chassis Type

Select the appropriate chassis type from the pull-down menu, shown here by
catalog number. The software uses this information to determine the number
of slots in the chassis. Depending on the controller type you chose, the
available options in this menu vary:

Slot Number

Choose the slot number where the controller resides on the backplane.

For ControlLogix controllers, the default value is 0. If the slot number exceeds
the chassis size, an error message appears, prompting you to enter a number
within the valid range.

For SoftLogix controllers, the default value is 1.

For CompactLogix, FlexLogix, and DriveLogix controllers, the value in this
field is always 0 and cannot be edited.

Revision

Enter the controller revision.

For this release of RSLogix 5000, this field is not editable. The revision
defaults to the latest revision for the given controller type.

Create In:

name is the same as the controller name, with a .acd extension.
