So you can see there that it's an Automation-Direct F1-130AA, that's the manufacturer. And you can see, some of the input output points X0 and X1, have some descriptions as well. Now I want to edit that information. So what I do is I hover over it, right-click, the menu comes up, I click on Edit Component. Now you'll notice that XO there is, or X0 I should say, is Power On, and X1 is Power Off. So that information's already in there. But what I can do is I can edit information in here very quickly and very easily if I want to. So X2 might be say Switch 1, like so. X3 might be Switch 2.
