Uploading a Configuration from the NIU to the Programmer
If desired, you may use the upload command to retrieve the
configuration from the Genius NIU. From the Target menu, select Upload
Remote I/O Configuration. Note: If the configuration present in the NIU
was generated by an autoconfiguration, the modules’ catalog numbers
specified in that configuration can differ from the modules that are
physically present. This happens because modules that have the same
type and amount of I/O use the same hardware identification, and
therefore the NIU cannot distinguish between them. If you upload a
configuration like this and intend to download that configuration to any
NIU, be sure to correct the configuration for those slots (select Replace
Module) before you download that configuration to an NIU. The following
groups of modules use the same hardware identification:
•
IC200ALG263 and 265;
•
IC200ALG264 and 266;
•
IC200ALG321 and 322;
•
IC200ALG431 and 432;
•
IC200MDD842, and 844;
•
IC200MDD846, 847, and 849;
•
IC200MDL140, 141, and 143;
•
IC200MDL240, 241, and 243;
•
IC200MDL329 and 331;
•
IC200MDL635, 640, and 643;
•
IC200MDL636, 644, and 650;
•
IC200MDL740, 741, and 743;
•
IC200MDL742, 744, and 750.
Comparing Configurations in the Programmer and NIU
You may use the Verify Equality function to compare a configuration file
in the programmer with the configuration in the Genius NIU. From the
Target menu, select Offline Commands - Verify Equality.
Deleting a Software Configuration from the NIU
You may use the –Clear configuration function to remove a configuration
from the NIU. From the Target menu, select Target – Offline Commands –
Clear. Clearing a configuration causes a new autoconfiguration to be
generated. In this case, Autoconfiguration remains enabled for the next
power-up unless a configuration is subsequently downloaded using a
programmer.
