Configuring RMA PLUS with CSV Creator
Overview
CSV Creator is used to configure Modbus, data logging, and other settings on an installed RMA PLUS and its con-
nected devices.
CSV Creator discovers the configuration parameters on your installed RMA PLUS and connected devices to ensure
that the created data log and Modbus® configurations are valid for your RMA PLUS and any connected devices. This
discovery is accomplished via USB or Ethernet connection. Note that with a USB connection your PC can mount drives
to the RMA PLUS, allowing you to save your configuration files directly to the device. If you connect via Ethernet, you
will have to save the configuration files to your PC rather than to the device itself.
