Card Properties
All cards, regardless of whether they are the standard system cards (such as the system power
supply) or an option card, include the basic properties. The basic card properties are listed
below.
• Card Address. A unique number used to identify the card within the system. This
number must correspond to the card address dip switch settings on the card.
- Address 001 IDNAC/NAC power supply
- Address 002 IDNet and multiloop
- Address 003 Color user interface
Note: It is usually easier to first add the card to the job with the programmer and then set the dip switches
with the address automatically assigned by the programmer.
• Card Custom Label. This field describes the card's function, location, or some other
descriptive text.
• Unit, Box, Bay, and Block (location). The values shown in the fields reflect the
location in which the card icon was placed when you added it with the programmer. It
is possible to change these values; however, the new values must reflect the new
physical location of the card.
To gain access to the Card Properties dialog, do either of the following:
• Double click on any card icon in the work area.
• Right click on any card in the work area. When the list of choices appears, click on
Properties.
A window similar to Figure 5-2 appears.

Edit these fields as follows:
• Enter a descriptive name in the Card Custom Label field.
• Use the Unit, Box, Bay, and Location (block) fields to change this information if
necessary. If you specify invalid information (for example, attempt to assign a card to a
fully populated bay), the programmer outputs an error message to indicate the
problem.
