Working with project files
Edge Gateway NIOT-E-TIB100-GB-RE | Passive Operating Mode

In this mode the configuration cannot be changed.The data acquisition is
running and provides the acquired process data signals via OPC UA or
Node-RED (depending on the signal configuration).
There are two different kinds of configuration parameters in passive
process data acquisition with the Edge Gateway. The definition of the
process data signals is stored in configuration files, that you can create and
edit using the tool „Passive Fieldbus Configurators".
This section shows, how you can create detailed configuration files for
passive process data acquisition using the tool „Passive Fieldbus
Configurator" and then upload these files into the Edge Gateway. OPC UA-
and Node-RED specific parameters are displayed or directly set in the
Control Panel or in the Node-RED node.
Project files are created and edited using the Passive Fieldbus
Configurator. They contain the configuration information for the passive
mode of the Edge Gateway. The file extension for project files of the
passive fieldbus configurator is *.fbcfg.
How to create project files is in detail described within the extensive
application examples, see Use Cases [} page 28].
Upload
In this context, upload means data transfer of project files from the file
system of the computer running the Control Panel to the Edge Gateway.
The following requirement applies for the upload of a project: The Edge
Gateway is in the passive mode of operation and the mode „Configuration"
is active.
In order to upload project files, click at button Upload in the area Signal
Configuration of control panel page Network->Field.
