6.4.5.1.1 Defining the Module’s Status Text Category
From this screen you can program in the status text category that you want used
for the Comparator I/O Module. This entry can be up to 10 characters long. The
category name entered must be a category name that you created in the
MCNRCD.CFG file. Section 9 provides details about the MCNRCD.CFG file
and status text categories. The category names entered are stored in the MCF file
that is created when you save the Group configuration.
If you are only going to use the default status text category for comparators (you
will not be creating any additional categories in the MCNRCD.CFG file), then
you will not have to edit this field for any module. When MCNCFG.EXE creates
the MCF file, it assigns the category name DEFAULT to all modules.
6.4.5.1.2 Entering a Module Description
From the Module Config screen you can also enter a description for each
module. This description can be up to 20 characters long. For example, you
might enter the building or rack location of each module. This information can
then be used as a troubleshooting aid to help locate modules quickly. The
descriptions entered are stored in the MCF file that is created when you save the
Group configuration.
