Editing Controller Properties

Use the
Controller Properties
 dialog box to configure the controller.
ATTENTION:
Changing from a safety controller to a standard controller is not an option if the project contains safety Add-On Instructions. The safety Add-On Instructions must either be converted to standard Add-On Instructions or deleted from the project. Then the conversion is allowed.
To edit controller properties:
  1. On the
    Online
     toolbar, select the
    Controller Properties
     icon.
  2. Select the
    General
     tab and configure the controller name and description, as well as its physical description, using these parameters:

    • Revision
    • Name
    • Description
    • Chassis Type
    • Slot

        IP Mode
         button to change the Ethernet/IP mode of the Ethernet port on a controller that supports dual configurable Ethernet ports, for example the
        CompactLogix
         5380.
  3. Select the
    Major Faults
     tab to view any major fault information and clear the faults as appropriate.

     tab to configure the controller’s wall clock time and enable time synchronization.
