When AN-X creates a configuration file, it adds a comment for each that
shows the number of data points of each type (X, Y, WX, WY) the
module in that slot contains. If you edit the automatically generated
configuration file, edit the comments as well.
See page 23 for information on how to upload the configuration from
AN-X and save it to a file.
Manual Configuration
Manual configuration is useful when the TI remote I/O network is not
attached to the AN-X or when you need something other than the default
configuration.
Create the configuration file using a text editor or a spreadsheet such as
Excel and save it as a comma separated variable (CSV) file, with
extension
csv
. The file format is described on page 21.
To send the configuration to AN-X:
1.
From the AN-X web interface, select
Automation Network/TI I/O
Network Configuration
.
2.
Type or browse the configuration file name into the
Select file:
area
3.
Click the
Send To AN-X
button to send the file to AN-X.
AN-X parses the file and shows either the current configuration if
configuration was sent successfully or an error message if there was a
problem with the file.
Configuration File Format
The remote I/O configuration file defines the contents of the bases to be
scanned.
It is a comma-separated variable (csv) text file, which can be created
with a text editor or with a spreadsheet such as Excel.
Anything after a semicolon on a line is treated as a comment. Comments
can be inserted at the end of a line or on a separate line.
The file defines the contents of the bases on the network.
