Changing the PC Name
If you purchased a new ProcessLogix R510.0 Server from Rockwell Automation, the
operating system and ProcessLogix software have already been installed.
Once the ProcessLogix R510.0 software is installed, changing the computer name requires a
full uninstall and reinstall of all the ProcessLogix R510.0 software. Refer to Changing the
Computer Name on a ProcessLogix Server in Chapter 8 of the R510.0 I&UG.
PC Naming Rules
The Factory default PC Names are PLX1, PLX1A, or PLX1B. If you
have more than 1 PC on the same network, you must make certain that
the PC names and IP addresses are unique (i.e. PLX1, PLX2).
The base name cannot contain more than 13 alphanumeric characters
and must contain no spaces. The full computer name cannot contain
more than 14 alphanumeric characters. The following naming
conventions are required for given ProcessLogix system architectures.
For non-redundant Server, be sure the name does not end in the letter
“A” or “B”. The default name is PLX1.
For redundant Servers, append a letter to the base name to identify the
PC’s function in the system architecture beginning with the letters A
and B for the primary and secondary Servers, respectively. The default
name for the primary Server (SERVERA), is PLX1A and the default
name for the secondary Server (SERVERB) is PLX1B. (14 Character
total: Up to 13 Base plus A or B)
