Reading and transmitting values
If the values in the project and the values in the device differ, you can read the values
out from the device and adopt them in the project. Alternatively, you can transmit
values from the project to the device.

Complementary information
Configuration:
•
Name
If a number of devices are used in an application or in a project, a unique device
name helps to tell the individual devices apart.
•
Checksums
A checksum is used as a unique identification for a configuration. Using the
checksum, it is possible to work out whether a setup was changed or whether two
devices have the same configuration.
The checksum of the configuration in the project may not match the checksum
in the device, for example if a field geometry has been modified, but not yet
transmitted to the device.
