Devices can be allocated to an area by using drag & drop or the function Assign topology in the
pop-up menu, in selection mode, for a group or for individual devices. As soon as a device has
been allocated to an area, its area index will change in accordance with the new area. This
information will also be loaded in the devices and thus will also be recognised upon rescan of the
project.
The area allocation does not have a direct effect on a device itself. However, it is of importance to
the MRF in connection with the calculation of the Ethernet routing, and produces enormous
benefits for the overview of large projects.
Create manual routing
This purpose of this function is not to have MRF automatically calculate a connection, but rather to
set-up a connection by drawing out the individual routing segments.
To be able to use this function, the option "Allow the use of manual routing" must first be activated
in the programme options.
Following this activation, the function can be started by going to the menu options Actions ->
Create manual routing....
CAUTION! It is recommended that this function be used only if you are fully familiarised
with the routing behaviour of the Eaton RF system.
The first connection that is drawn must always originate from a sensor. Thereafter, routing
segments can be arbitrarily drawn through actuators.
Drawn segments can be removed at any time by right-clicking on the line, or by aborting the
function with the ESC key.
When you are finished drawing out the routing segments, confirm with ENTER. The MRF will now
verify whether the connection can be set up or if MRF connection rules have been breached.
If the verification is successful, one or more connections will be established (depending upon
which segments were drawn) and a message will provide information on the number of
