The Configuration Loader will load any or all of the configuration files defined in a project (.6pj) file. While the functionality of the equipment cannot be altered by this software, certain communication and identification parameters can be changed prior to being loaded. This feature makes it possible to have one standard configuration that is loaded "cookie cutter" into multiple stations, with only the identification and/or communication parameters of the station being set at the time of installation. Paramaters that can be set in this manner include:
Station number
Serial number
Ethernet set up, including the IP address of the station
Serial port settings such as baud rate, protocol choice, etc.
Some of the other capabilities of the Configuration Loader include:
|
¢ |
Calibration of analog I/O channels |
|
¢ |
Test I/O window for verifying I/O functionality |
|
¢ |
Readback of a configuration from the station (see the note below) |
|
¢ |
Upgrading firmware in an RTU or controller |
|
¢ |
Setting a SIXNET station's clock |
|
¢ |
Resetting or clearing a SIXNET station's configuration |
|
¢ |
Access to the extensive help documentation for all SIXNET Windows programs |
Note: The Configuration Loader can alter the parameters listed above and can read back the configuration in a station for diagnostic purposes, but it will not permit the altered project file to be saved. This ensures that version control can be maintained over the official project file. If alteration of the project file is required, use the SIXNET I/O Tool Kit to make the changes.
