Download configuration, downloads only the item names.

[Jonas Van Otterdijk]

It seems that the download configuration function only works for the item names, and not for the item property�s. Is this true?

I�ve tested it with some fp thermocouple modules (FP-TC-120). You can easily see the difference between data range set to volt and data range set to degrees Celsius by looking at the led of each channel�

In other words: is there an easier way to download the property configuration than changing the channel configuration and than using the file configuration (if it differs from the module configuration)?

Kind regards

Yes, the Download Configuration option, which is available only on FieldPoint RT Series controllers, is solely used for downloading the channel item names into RT series controllers. It does not download the ranges, attributes, power-up or watchdog values for each channnel.

Currently, with FieldPoint Explorer, you have two options for configuration of ranges/attributes/power-ups/watchdog settings; using the Snapshot Command or using the Channel Configuration window.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for your fast answer.

I think the snapshot command is not an option, because it uses the current settings on the fieldpoint modules as the start up settings and not the file settings. (of iak file)

Therefore, when exchanging a fp2000, I have go to the channel configuration, do several clicks, do it again for each bank and�.i have to write the manual.

Maybe a little suggestion for fieldpoint Explorer 4�..

Kind regards,
