MICS File Format
The MICS file consists of XML elements, which are identified by their tag names, and com-
ments. The file format consists of a declaration and a root element. The root element contains
all other elements. Other elements include either data or more elements. Comments can be
interspersed with elements or data (but must not be within the tag).
File Naming Convention
The file can have any name for convenient reference, but must have the .xml extension. Once
the file is uploaded to the node controller, it is automatically renamed to ‘MICS_motor_
data.xml’.
As an example:
MICS_Development_System.xml
Declaration
The XML declaration is placed on the first line of the file. It specifies the XML version and
the character encoding of the document. In this case, the declaration line is:
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”US-ASCII”?>
File Identification
MICS files are identified in comment lines following the XML declaration. The revision and
last change data reflect the file revision and the data and time of the last change of the file.
As an example:
<!-- MICS Motor Data file for a MagneMotion Node Controller -->
<!-- $Rev: 242 $ $LastChangedDate: 2018-02-15 20:06:34 (Thu, 15 Feb 2018)
$ -->
Element
There is only one root element in a MICS file, this tag is
MICS_motor_data
. Elements can
contain other elements or configuration data. Elements must be properly nested.
Tag Names
Tag names identify the function of the tag. The convention for tag names is only the first letter
is capitalized and underscores (‘_’) are used in place of spaces.
Comments
Comments can be included where desired, including inside elements. Comments are identi-
fied by enclosing them in angle brackets with the first characters after the opening bracket an
exclamation point and two dashes, and two dashes before the closing bracket.
As an example:
<!-- comment -->
