Storing (Downloading) Hardware Configuration

4.4
A PACSystems control system is configured by creating a configuration file in the
programming software, then transferring (downloading) the file from the programmer to the
controller.
The CPU stores the configuration file in its non-volatile memory. After the configuration is
stored, I/O scanning is enabled or disabled according to the newly stored configuration
parameter, Stop-Mode I/O.
Before you can store the hardware configuration to the RXi Controller, you must first set the
IP address in the Ethernet Interface using the IDM (page 29.)
