Default Node Parameters The group gives the user the option to change any of the default Default Node Parameters node parameters in the group for all of the checked nodes. After the configuration file is created the should be run to refine the parameter settings for each node separately (see the chapter for a detailed description of the node parameters). Save The screen of Modbus Ethernet Configuration File Generator provides the user a Save preview of the contents of the interface configuration file and the ability to set the name and location of the file when it is saved: File Name The field must contain the entire path and file name of the interface configuration File Name file to be generated. A user can either enter it directly into the field or search for it File Name by clicking the button. Browse Browse The button gives the user the option to search for the full path and name of the Browse interface configuration file with the standard Microsoft Windows open file dialog. In this way a user can get the entire path and file name without having to enter it into the File Name field. Save To generate the interface configuration file click the button. Once the file has been Save saved the button will be enabled and the text in the button will change to Next Finish. Preview The list shows the exact contents of what will be saved to the interface configuration Preview file. The following image shows how the screen of the Modbus Ethernet Configuration File Save Generator will appear after the interface configuration file has been saved: At this point the interface configuration file has been generated and saved, and none of the previous operations can be repeated. The should now be run from the ICU after creating a new interface instance (see ) using the newly created Interface Configuration File as input. This will allow the user to refine the parameter settings for both the interface and each Ethernet node in the interface configuration file.
