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 the letter A or B to
the base name to identify the PC’s function in the
system architecture 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 characters
total: up to 13 base plus A or B).
