Editing The Config.csv File - ICP DAS USA MDC-700 Series User Manual

3.2. Editing the config.csv file
The MDC module is configured by a config.csv file to work with your master and RTU slave devices.
The Comma Separated Values (CSV) files can be viewed and edited in spreadsheet applications like
Microsoft Excel, or in any text editor, in which the comma character (,) typically separates each field
of text. In a text editor, it looks like this:
The file name "config.csv" can not be changed; it contains four main sections that need to be edited:
(1) Modbus Connection, (2) Module information, (3) COM Port Configuration and (4) Polling
Definition. Each section starts with a "#" character; follows are names for parameters in this section.
A row starting with a "*" character is a set of settings in a section.
NOTE:
 The name for each parameter can not be changed.
 You can make a copy of the config.csv file in three ways and modify it to meet your
requirements:
1. Export the config.csv file in your MDC‐700. (See 3.3. Importing/exporting the config.csv file)
2. Download the file from
http://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/cd/8000cd/napdos/modbus/mdc700/firmware/.
