Chapter 3 Configure the Controller
4. Type a name for the controller.
When you create a project, the project name is the same as the name of the
controller. However, you can rename either the project or the controller.
5. Select the chassis size.
6. Enter the slot number of the controller.
The New Controller dialog box displays the slot location of the safety
partner based on the slot number entered for the primary controller.
If you select a slot number for the primary controller that does not
accommodate placement of the safety partner immediately to the right of
the primary controller, you are prompted to re-enter a valid slot number.
7. Specify the folder in which to store the safety controller project.
8. For RSLogix 5000, version 20 or later, choose a Security Authority option.
For detailed information on security, refer to the Logix5000 Controllers
Security Programming Manual, publication
1756-PM016 .
9. Click OK.
RSLogix 5000 software automatically creates a safety task and a safety program.
A main ladder logic safety routine called MainRoutine is also created within the
safety program.
Figure 7 - Safety Task in the Controller Organizer
A red bar under the icon distinguishes safety programs and routines from
standard project components in the RSLogix 5000 Controller Organizer.
When a new safety project is created, RSLogix 5000 software also automatically
creates a time-based safety network number (SNN).
This SNN defines the local chassis backplane as a safety subnet. It can be viewed
and modified via the General tab on the Controller Properties dialog box.
For most applications, this automatic, time-based SNN is sufficient. However,
there are cases in which you might want to enter a specific SNN.
