2.2. Configuration Instructions

2.2.1. Configuring the DXM1200 Controller

Configure the DXM1200 using the configuration software.
The DXM Configuration Software allows the user to define parameters for the DXM1200, then saves the configuration in an XML file on the PC.
To configure the DXM1200, connect the provided M8-to-Ethernet cable to both the DXM1200 and a computer or local area network. The
computer and DXM must have IP addresses from the same network. After the configuration file is saved, upload the XML configuration file to the
DXM1200 for operation.
This quick start guide outlines the basic operations to set up a DXM1200 using the configuration software. For a more comprehensive explanation
of features, refer to the DXM Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n 209933).

2.2.2. Configuration Example: Reading Registers on a Modbus Server Device

The opening page of the DXM Configuration Software displays the Local Registers tab. The local registers are the main global pool of registers
that are defined by the user to store data within the DXM1200. The bottom status bar displays the communications status, application status,
and the DXM Configuration Software version.
In this short example, we will configure the DXM1200 to read six registers on an external Modbus server device and save the data into the local
registers.

2.2.2.1. Step 1: Define the Local Registers

Change the name and parameter settings for each Local Register under the Local Registers in Use screen. You may change them individually
(Edit Register) or in groups (Modify Multiple Registers).
