8.1  Hardware Configuration Tool for AH500 Series 
Modules - HWCONFIG 
HWCONFIG is a built-in hardware configuration tool in ISPSoft. You can configure CPU and module 
parameters, download/upload parameters, detect a hardware configuration online, and make a diagnosis 
through HWCONFIG. The examples used below are from HWCONFIG 4.0 (ISPSoft V3.12). Refer to previous 
versions of ISPSoft Manual for the operation examples on the previous versions of HWCONFIG.   
You must download all parameters set in HWCONFIG to the CPU module for them to take effect.   
The data exchange area set in HWCONFIG for modules can NOT be used repeatedly for other 
communication data and vise versa.
