Off-line Device Planning Via PowerPort-E
In order to be able to transmit a parameter file (e.g.: created off-line) into the
device, the following information must be located:
Type code (written on the top of the device/type label); and
Version of the device model (can be found in menu [Device
Parameters\Version].
The
PowerPort-E
application also enables the User to create a configuration/parameter file off-line using a “Device
Model”. The advantage of using a device model is that the User can pre-configure a device by setting parameters in
advance.
The User can also read the parameter file out of the device, further process it off-line (e.g.: from the office) and finally
re-transfer it to the device.
The User can either:
Load an existing parameter file from a device (please refer to the Section “Loading Device Data When Using
PowerPort-E"
);
Create a new parameter file (see below); or
Open a locally saved parameter file (backup).
In order to create a new device/parameter file by way of a device template off-line.
In order to create a new off-line parameter file, select »Create new parameter file« within the »File« menu.
A working window pops- up. Please make sure that you select the right device type with the correct version and
configuration.
Finally click on »Apply«.
In order to save the device configuration, select »Save« out of the »File« menu.
Within the »Modify Device Configuration (Typecode)« menu, the User can modify the device configuration or simply
find out the type code of the current selection.
If the User wants to transfer the parameter file into a device, please refer to Section “Restoring Device Data When using
PowerPort-E
”.
