changing the computer name requires a full uninstall
and reinstall of all the ProcessLogix R510.0 software.

PC Naming Rules
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. For
example, use the name PLX1A for the primary Server
(
SERVERA) and PLX1B for the secondary Server
( SERVERB). (14 Character total: Up to 13 Base plus
A or B)
For a ProcessLogix Client, be sure the name does not
end in the letter “A” or “B”. The suggested name is
STNxx, where xx is the Station Number (01-20).
