6.3.3 Configuring MSC800
All configurable parameters of the MSC800 are compiled together in a corresponding
device description for the SOPAS-ET configuration software. The project tree of the device
description is used as an aid for configuration.
The function of the relevant parameters is explained in a context-dependent manner in the
online help (F1 key). The valid value range and the default are listed in the “
PARAMETER
INFO
” display window (right-click with pointer placed over the parameter).
In order to configure a device with the SOPAS-ET configuration software, the appropriate
operator level must first be selected. After starting, the SOPAS-ET configuration software
works in the “Maintenance technician” user level (operator level).
1. Under
EXTRAS in the menu bar, select the LOG IN TO DEVICE command.
2. Under
USER LEVEL in the dialog window, in the list box select the AUTHORIZED CUSTOMER
entry and enter the password “client” under
PASSWORD. Confirm the dialog window with
OK.
The parameters that were previously shown grayed out on the tabs are now accessible.
6.3.4 Loading amended parameter sets into the logic unit
Depending on the option (“Download immediately”), amended parameters are temporarily
transferred directly into the logic unit of the MSC800. In order for the changes to be retained
even after the MSC800 is restarted, however, the configuration must be permanently
saved in the logic unit.
1. In order to load the current settings in the MSC800, select the PARAMETERS/SAVE
PERMANENTLY command in the menu bar under MSC800.
2. Restart the MSC800.
