The project files won’t actually be created until you edit (go Offline with) the project

(see

If you are editing offline, you can change the SLC 500 address at any time while

editing the ladder.

Modifying the SLC 500 Address

The SLC 500 address shown in the upper right corner of the File Selector screen shows

the default destination DH-485 (or DH+) node address for the currently selected

working project. When you go online with that project, PLC-500 A.I. begins looking

for a SLC 500 at the address you select. If it does not find a SLC 500 at that address,

PLC-500 A.I. displays the Who Active screen, and allows you to choose a different

SLC 500 address for the project. This address is then saved as the new default.

To modify the SLC 500 address for a project:

1.

With the File Selector utility displayed on your screen, highlight the desired file.

2.

Select

[F1]

The utility prompts you to enter a SLC 500 station address. The current station

address is displayed in the prompt. Enter the new address, 0-31 decimal. (With a

SLC 5/04 processor, you can use DH+ addresses 0-77 octal, but you must configure

the interface before you can modify the address. See below.) Press

[Enter]

to

accept the address.
