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.

Changing a VersaPro Screen Layout
If a VersaPro screen layout is not to your liking, you have the option of changing it. For example,
some users prefer to have the Folder Browser window on the left side of the screen, or prefer the
Local Logic Editor window to be larger than the default size. There are two primary ways to
change a screen layout: moving and resizing.
Moving a window:
Click
just inside
the window’s border with the left mouse button. A
rectangular box will appear on-screen. While holding the mouse button, drag the box to position it
where desired, then release the mouse button to place it there. Sometimes when a window is
moved its shape will change. If desired, you can resize it to a different shape as described next.
Resizing a window:
Place the mouse pointer
on
the applicable border of the window you wish to
resize. The mouse pointer will change to a short double line with arrows:
Click and hold the left mouse button and drag to resize the window.
