Locate the Controller Serial Number
Via the RSLogix 5000 Project
To find the controller’s serial number in your RSLogix 5000 project when using
ladder logic or structured text, use the Get System Value (GSV) instruction to
obtain the value of the Serial Number attribute of the ControllerDevice object.
The value can be shown in RSLogix 5000 programming software’s data monitor.
When the style is set to Hex, the displayed value is the same as shown in RSLinx
software.
