RSLogix software stores a controller’s programming and Program
configuration information in a file called a project. The
block diagram of the processor’s project file is shown in Other routines Program tags
Figure 15-5. A project file contains all information relat- Main routine (local data)
ing to the project. The main components of the project file
are tasks, programs, and routines. A controller can hold
and execute only one project at a time. Figure 15-5 ControlLogix processor program file.
