5.2.3 Creating a project for configuration
A project contains the hardware setup, the sensor and I/O set-
tings present in the modules as well as
the sensor signals used
and computations, the so-called variables, which are to be output.
Procedure 1. After the start of the test.commander you are offered several
options. Select Open new project and read in online sys-
tem.
The network to be searched is defined when the link is estab-

Alternatively, you can also create a project in the test.com-

figuration program ICP 100. Then carry out all the module set-
tings in the window of this program.
After changes to the configuration of modules or a Test Con-
troller
is displayed in the project tree. Select or File >
Write project (update) in the tes
t.commander to update the
settings in the project (and in the Test Controller). The project
file is in this case automatically saved.
You process a complete variable in the configuration dialog in
