18 SoftLogix Controller
Name
The name of the controller. When you create a project, this is the same as the
name of the project file. When you change the name of the controller,
however, the name of the project file does not change. If you want to keep the
two the same, then you must rename the file using Windows Explorer or a
similar file management tool.
You cannot change the name when online.
Description
Enter a description for the controller here, up to 128 characters. You can use
any printable character in this field. If you exceed the maximum length, the
software ignores any extra characters.
Chassis Type
Select a supported chassis type from the pull-down list. Each entry in the list
consists of the catalog number of the chassis, as well as a brief description.
The chassis type cannot be changed when online.
Slot
Enter the chassis slot number in which the controller resides. The spin button
contains values that range from 0 to 1 less than the chassis size (e.g., if you
have a 4-slot chassis, the spin button spins from 0 to 3). If you enter a slot
number that is out of this range, you receive an error message when you go to
apply your changes.
The slot number cannot be changed when online.
Revision
Displays the major and minor firmware revision of the controller. The minor
revision is available only when you are online.
Change Type
Click on this button to access the Change Processor Type dialog. This dialog
lets you change your controller to another controller within the same platform.
IMPORTANT
This name must be IEC_1131 compliant. If you enter an
invalid character in this field, or if the name you enter
exceeds 40 characters, the software ignores the character.
