Figure 223: The New Folder Wizard Dialog Box
•
Enter a name for your folder. Although you can use up to 255 characters to name
the folder, only the last 7 characters will be used as the folder name in the PLC. These
last 7 characters of the Folder Name are called the Folder Nickname. This being the
case, you may wish to carefully name your folder so that its nickname is meaningful.
For example, if your Folder Name is “Pumphouse_Number_1,”
the Nickname stored
to the PLC is “umber_1” which may not convey the meaning you desire. Better
names might be something like “PHouse1” or “PH1.” Chapter 2 of the VersaPro
user’s manual (GFK
-1670) has a section that explains the rules for creating Folder
Names, including which characters are allowed.
•
You may also change the folder location path from the default path shown in the
Location field if you wish to store your folder in a different location. Also, there is a
Description field that allows you to enter up to 64 characters of description
information. When finished entering information in this dialog box, click the Finish
button. (If you wanted to import a Logicmaster or Control folder, you would click
Next, which would give you another dialog box with the import choices.) You will
now see the Main LD (Ladder Diagram) screen.
