In this example, the DayOfWeek example project file was opened.

4. Open the Controller Properties page from the Edit Menu.

5. Record the Name of the Project file displayed on the General tab. In this

the controller name property next to the controller resource.
If the name does not appear in the Network and Devices tree,
open RSLinx Classic and navigate to the controller resource with
RSWho. Navigating to the resource in RSLinx Classic will
update the Controller path information in RSLinx Classic.
FactoryTalk Administration Console uses the controller path
information from RSLinx Classic to display Controllers. Once the
path information is updated in RSLinx Classic, open the
FactoryTalk Administration Console and right click on the
Network and Devices tree and select refresh.

TIP
6. Once the Logical Name for the Controller has been set to match the

This completes the FactoryTalk Security configuration for an RSLogix 5000

controller resource. Individual user or groups rights will still need to be
configured to control access to secured Controllers. For more FactoryTalk
