When “Write to File” has been selected, a window will be displayed to input
the filename of the desired file.
When “Write to Device” has been selected, a window will be displayed to

executed only when editing Master parameters online.)

When writing the parameters to a Master, just click on “OK.”
Note When the Master parameters have been created with the “Create Master
Parameters” command, the parameters will be lost when the command is exited
unless they are written to a file.
When the Master parameters have been edited from a network configuration file
or device list information, the data is saved within the computer as network con-
figuration information.

3-6-4 Creating Master Parameters with the “Wizard”
This section describes how to create Master parameters simply using the inter-
active Master parameter wizard. Remote I/O must be allocated in node address
order with the wizard, but the I/O allocation can be changed later by editing the
Master parameters.
To change the remote I/O allocation, first save the parameters in a Master
parameters file, specify the Master Unit from the device list, and change the
allocation with the “Edit Device Parameters” command.
Refer to 3-6-3 Creating Master Parameters Independently for details on using
the “Create Master Parameters” command to allocate words for remote I/O com-
munications one Slave at a time.
