9.1 Device-specific bytes

9.2 Device-specific image file

9.3 XML configuration file contents

▶ To delete a 3rd party device, first select it and then tap the DELETE
DEVICE button.
▶ To replace a 3rd party device, first delete it, then replace the
corresponding XML configuration file, and finally import the new device.
If the import is completed successfully, you will then be able to connect and
use the corresponding 3rd party devices.
If an error occurs during the import process, check the notification that
appears, correct the XML configuration file, and try to import the device
again.
It is important for all devices to have their own device-specific identification
data.
Two bytes, which are defined by their offset and value in the XML
configuration file, are used for device identification purposes:
<device_specific_bytes>
<LENGTH>2</LENGTH>
<OFFSET>2</OFFSET>
<FIRST_BYTE_VALUE>0</FIRST_BYTE_VALUE>
<SECOND_BYTE_VALUE>5</SECOND_BYTE_VALUE>
</device_specific_bytes>
Pre-defined Eaton device types will be recognized before 3rd party devices.
In other words, if the device-specific bytes match the bytes pre-defined by
Eaton, the device will be recognized as an Eaton device.
An image file can be assigned to every supported third-party device. The
image file's name must have the following syntax: 3rdparty_X.bmp, where X
is the number of the corresponding device type. Moreover, the BMP file
must not exceed a size of 65 x 65 pixels. The image file needs to be stored in
the console's \InternalStorage\PlcPrg directory. The device-specific image will
replace the default file already found in the BreakerVisu console.

Tables 43 and 44 describe the contents of the XML
configuration file.
