The base file CP143
H1 / TCP/IP manual
5-6 Rev. 00/07
5.5 The base file
The base file, which is also called the data base file or connection parameter file, contains all the
parameters that may be configured by means of the NCS configuration software. A saved base file
may be transferred into an EPROM or directly to the CP. It is also possible to read an EPROM or a CP
and to save the respective parameters into base file. The default extension of the base file is ".ncs" but
you may change this as desired.
5.5.1 Loading, saving and deleting the base file
Base files may be created/loaded, saved and deleted by means of an interactive window. This
interactive window may be accessed from the menu item File.
Interactive windows show subdirectory entries. You may also select another drive or select files
from this window. In the following paragraph we will explain the operation of interactive windows
by means of the load function. The interactive window may be different, depending on the selected
function, but this does not affect the basic operation.
Fig. 5-2: File selection window by means of the example for Load/Create
This interactive window contains all the elements that are also required for saving and deleting files:
•
An input field for direct entry of a file name and path
The field contains the default path + *.ncs. This means that any file with the extension ".ncs"
in the specified directory will be displayed. If you replace the asterisk (*) in the input field
with a complete file name the respective file is loaded. If this file does not exist it will be
created. Your entry is completed when you press the Enter key or when you click on [OK].
•
Display field containing the path selected in drive and directories.
•
A field to select a drive and a directory.
Select the desired drive and directory by means of a mouse click and press the Enter key. The
path in the display field is updated and all file names with an extension of ".ncs" are
displayed. Click on “..” and press the Enter key to access the next higher level of the directory
tree.
•
A field to enter a file name for the selected directory.
Select the required file name and press the Enter key. The selected file will be loaded.
