Core Configuration: First Steps
Core Configuration: First Steps
This section deals with how to edit and update the Core configuration. The best approach is as follows:
1.
Create a
AdminHD session and, if possible,
the online configuration from the mc²56 MKII
control system.
Alternatively, if you can't connect to the mc²56 MKII,
config.csv
file. This can be a file which
you saved earlier or requested from your configuration engineer.
If you have neither a network connection or an existing
config.csv
file, then you will need to create a
session and build a
from scratch. Note that this method can be time consuming, and is not
recommended for minor changes to an existing system!
2.
config.csv
file - this allows you to open it later, or move it to another
AdminHD computer.
3.
their parameters using the 'Core Browser', 'Hardware Panel'
and 'Parameter Box'.
4.
the configuration for programming errors.
5.
the system's existing cold start files.
6.
the configuration as a cold start
config.tcl
file - this puts the data into a format which can be read
by the control system.
7.
config.tcl
from your computer to the mc²56 MKII control system.
8.
the mc²56 MKII to see your changes take affect.
As an alternative to exporting and uploading the
config.tcl
file, AdminHD can
(in temporary memory). However, this is not recommended for permanent changes to a configuration.
Workflow Suggestions:
Both the
config.csv
and
config.tcl
files can be transferred between computers. This allows you to download and
save the configuration (as a
config.csv
) on a networked AdminHD computer; open it on your personal AdminHD
computer (for editing); export the
config.tcl
and transfer this back to the networked computer (for upload to the
control system).
If you are also editing the
, then download and save both sets of data (
config.csv
and
signallist.slx
) while you are connected to the control system. Once editing is complete, export both cold start
files (
config.tcl
and
gui_config.tcl
), and upload them to the control system. You can then perform a single cold
start to action all your changes.
