Save configuration
Saving a configuration on PC
You can save the currently used configuration of the CMR as a file "user.cfg" on the PC. To
do this, click the "Save to PC" button. Select the relevant storage location.
A saved configuration file can, when necessary, be transferred to other devices of the same
type, see the next section.
Save configuration on SD card
Note
Only one configuration file of a type
You can only save a single configuration file with the name "user.cfg" or "default.cfg" on the
SD card.
You can save the currently used configuration of the CMR as a file "user.cfg" on the SD
card. To do this, click the "Save on SD card" button.
Configuration files for device replacement and further CMRs
If an SD card is inserted, the configuration file "default.cfg" is automatically saved on the SD
card during startup of the device. If there are changes to the configuration, the file is
automatically updated when you click the "Apply" button.
The configuration files saved with the functions described above can be used for device
replacement as well as a template for other devices of the same type.
● Device replacement
With the aid of the configuration files you can continue to use a configuration if you
replace a device without needing to create the configuration of the new device.
If the SD card with the "default.cfg" file is inserted in a brand-new CMR or in a CMR that
has been reset to the factory settings, the "default.cfg" file will be loaded. The new device
can be used immediately with the configuration data of the old device.
● Transfer of the configuration to other devices
With the aid of a configuration file "user.cfg"you can use a configuration as the template
for other CMRs of the same time.
If you use several CMRs with a similar configuration, you can save the configuration of
the first configured device as a configuration file "user.cfg" on the PC.
You can now make copies of the stored configuration file and adapt the special
parameters such as IP address, plant name etc. for each device to be used using an
editor (see below). If you save the adapted configuration files on SD cards and insert
them in the relevant devices, after device start-up the file will be loaded on the device
from the SD card. This saves you time for the full configuration of each individual device.
