Accessing and Editing
Parameters

In order to modify the parameter values of the encoder on DeviceNet,
RSNetWorx offers two configuration modes:

Class Instance Editor

Enhanced Device Configuration

The Enhanced Device Configuration is a more comfortable way to
read and modify encoder parameters. This mode can be used online
and offline (file access only). In the Enhanced Device Configuration
mode the parameters can be stored to a file (*.dnt) for later transfer to
the device.

In order to protect parameter values against loss due to a power
failure they can be stored in the encoder EEPROM with the
"Save" service. The "Reset" service sets all parameters to default
values. The "Restore" service sets all parameters to the values
stored in the EEPROM--see page 4-7.

The Save, Reset, and Restore services can only be executed in the
Class Instance Editor.
