ABB AC 800M, Configuration

Page: 168 / 260

The EDS file of some device may have a lot of configuration parameters and
connections. In rare scenarios this would exceed the maximum configuration size
per device in control builder of 65535 bytes. If this happens, a compilation error
would be displayed when the user tries to download such a hardware type to the
controller and the download would be aborted.
User would then need to re-import the EDS file of such a device and delete some
parameters/ connection that are not required so as to bring the configuration size
of the device to acceptable limits.

Guidelines for Re-import and Re-configuration
This section describes the guidelines to be followed during re-import and re-
configuration.
Re-import
There is a possibility of I/O modules duplication within the same hardware library
during re-import.
Consider a modular import scenario in which certain I/O modules are selected to be
imported under the adapter, the hardware types for all the I/O modules are created in
the hardware library.
So all the I/O modules imported are available to be inserted in the hardware tree
under the adapter.
1. Considering a modular re-import scenario, where, certain I/O modules are

de-selected and only a subset of the modules are imported, which are currently
available under the adapter. These de-selected modules still appears under the
hardware library as they have not been physically deleted from the hardware
library.

However de-selected I/O modules cannot be added in the hardware tree under
the adapter. Hence, only the I/O modules being included or selected in the most
recent import of the adapter will be available for configuration under the
adapter.
