Appendix
B
System Management
Configuration Section
Format
This appendix explains how to structure the System Management
Configuration section of your Device Configuration
.ini
file.
The System Management Configuration section of your Windows
.ini
Device Configuration file must be converted to C code and linked with
your application before the Round Card can communicate on the
Fieldbus network. The code generated by running this file through the
Configuration Generator automatically configures your card. When a
parameter is changed over the Fieldbus, the parameter is updated in
nonvolatile memory.
Following is a description of the format of the System Management
Configuration section:
The names of the sections in System Management Configuration are as
follows:
[MIB]
...
[FB Schedule 0]
...
[FB Schedule 1]
...
...
[FB Schedule N]
...
The general line format for all other lines is as follows:
variable=value
where the valid variable names and values are defined in Table B-1.
Note:
Most of the variables in Table B-1 are optional. In fact, only the
devID
is
required. For other variables, default values are used if other values have
not been defined in the configuration file
