Maintenance - Edit Config File
The Edit Config File page is a simple text file editor used for making changes and adjustments in text based files in the RTU32M file
system. The editor will automatically list al
l files with the extension “.txt”, “.dat”
and “.
ini
” that
are placed in the RTU
../etc/rtu32/config/.. folder.
By default,
a number of files will be listed if you view “Select file to edit”. They are all files related to configuration of the
RTU and
reflect the actual settings on the webpages. These files should NOT be changed!
After opening a file, you can edit it like in any other text editor. Select save to save the configuration file on the RTU32M.
You may add your own files to the ../etc/rtu32/config/.. folder. You can create and place your own files using e.g. SFTP to a RTU32M.
The WorkSuite supports functions for reading textual files and can for example be used for setting up variable values
–
set points, alarm
levels etc. from the web interface.
The idea is that you can add your own file to the RTU32M that includes parameters used in a running PLC runtime application. Both the
Brodersen WorkSuite and other developer tools provide options for read and write to text files.
You can also save your application history or log book in a file. If you want to keep record of changes and updates of your
application(s), you can enter it into to a text file and keep it on the RTU.
NOTE:
For the normal user, the RTU32M system files need no changes
–
keep them unchanged. And do not edit the default text files
placed in this folder, unless you are absolutely sure what impact it has.
Note2: the Edit Config File page is disabled in the early release firmware for the RTU32M (available 3Q 2018).

Maintenance - Reboot
After changing parameters on the configuration pages, you may be prompted to run the reboot function to activate the changes. After
booting the RTU32M you can start working with Brodersen WorkSuite to create your application programs.
