4.7.3 Select the Slot Number for the Module

The sample application is for a module installed in Slot 1 in a ControlLogix rack.
The ladder logic uses the slot number to identify the module. If you are installing
the module in a different slot, you must update the ladder logic so that program
tags and variables are correct, and do not conflict with other modules in the rack.

and then click the right mouse button to open a shortcut menu.

field, use the up and down arrows on the right side of the field to

select the slot number where the module will reside in the rack, and then click
OK.

RSLogix will automatically apply the slot number change to all tags, variables
and ladder logic rungs that use the MVI56E-GSC slot number for computation.
