Chapter 4 | Configuration
Overview
Product features like data logging, Modbus, etc. are configured via .csv files on the drives on your RMA PLUS. When
you connect to the device via USB, you can access these three drives: MICRO SD, NOR FLASH, and RAM DISK,
which each contain files for configuration or operation of the RMA PLUS. For configuration help, see
NOTE:
is provided to help you edit the default configurations over a USB connection. (Files can be
read over Ethernet, but not written). We recommend that you do not manually edit the files, to prevent corruption of
data. Configuration files are only read upon initialization. You must reset the RMA PLUS for a change to take effect.
Configuration File Formats
Each row in the file constitutes a record. Record elements are separated by commas. Header rows indicate what is in
the column below, but header rows and empty rows are ignored by the parser.
This example shows the data for a Modbus® TCP configuration file. Field bus or application information is in the first
column. The bus number follows and dictates the remainder of the record. Busses 1 and 2 are standard bus records with
the same format. Bus 0 records are ignored by the parser to disable a record without deleting it. Any trailing information
is disregarded.

Modbus® TCP Register Config Example
The setup configuration file,
setup.csv
is found at the root of the NOR FLASH drive at
nor:\Setup.csv
. This is the first
file read by the RMA PLUS upon reset. Each line is a record of a key, value pair. The key is a string value must match a
key string in the firmware or it is disregarded. The value data type is specified in the
