CPUM CARD DIRECTORY STRUCTURE AND CONFIGURATION FILES
2 CPUM card directory structure and configuration files
For a networked VM600 rack, the CPUM card contains a number of different files that define
the configuration and operation of the CPUM card and VM600 rack.
This includes a file that provides basic version information, and configuration files for all of
the communication interfaces and protocols supported by a CPUM card (and its associated
IOCN card (optional)) such as Ethernet, Serial, Modbus, PROFIBUS and PROFINET.
The directory structure and configuration files used, such as net.cfg or hosts, depend on
the version of firmware running on a CPUM card.
2.1 CPUM cards running firmware version 075 or later
For CPUM cards running firmware version 075 or later, the directory structure and
configuration files have been improved and reorganised. They are now significantly different
compared to cards running firmware version 074 or earlier, as shown in Table 2-1.
See 6.1.1 CPUM card configuration files for more information on the directory structure and
configuration files for CPUM cards running firmware version 075 or later.
