Safety Block Renaming

General

With Release 7 of the Connected Components Workbench (CCW) and
Release 7 of the CR30 firmware, the names of both the safety monitoring
functions and safety output functions can be edited. The editing rules follow
IEC 61131-3, section 2.1.2.

This feature is important because it allows you to distinguish between multiple
occurrences of the same function blocks during the design, wiring, and
troubleshooting phases.

The name change is initiated in one of two ways:

1.

Simply double-click the name inside the block

2.

Highlight the block and press F2.

The typical editing keys (Home, End, Backspace, Delete, Left Arrow, Right
Arrow, Page Up, Page Down, and Mouse Click) can be used to edit the name.

When the block is selected for editing, the name appears in a light blue box, and
the name is highlighted in light blue background, as shown in

Figure 27

Names cannot have spaces

Names can contain letters, numbers, and underscores (no special
characters)

Name length can be anywhere from 1…30 characters

Letter case is not significant

Multiple leading or consecutive embedded underscores are not allowed

Trailing underscores are not allowed
