To access the configuration parameters for the C441 Motor Insight, select the C441 Motor Insight
Base under the Device Overview, and then select “Device-Specific Parameters” in the Properties,

Each C441 Motor Insight in the application can be configured using the Device-Specific Parameters
for each device. This file is downloaded to each C441 device each time the PROFIBUS master
makes a connection with the slave module. This feature allows for minimal downtime should a
slave device need replacing and provides an easy way to configure each C441 device on the
network during the initial startup. These Device-Specific Parameters are a complete list of all
configuration parameters for the C441 Motor Insight.
