As a result, a dialog box (Fig.4.1.2) will appear asking you to enter identifier and name of the new controller object. Identifiers of OpenSCADA objects are limited in size to 20 characters and it is recommended that they be entered with the characters of the English alphabet and numbers. In addition, it is desirable to start the identifier from letter, which will simplify its use in internal procedures. Names of OpenSCADA objects are limited in 50 characters, which can be any. Names are usually used to display and when it is empty, the identifier will be used. In further we can change the name in the object configuration, but the identifier can not be changed directly; however, the object can be cut (Ctrl+X) and then paste (Ctrl+V), renaming it. Enter according to the remarks earlier the ID CM101, the name "CM 101" — "CM101 (CM 101)".
