Using an existing project for
further devices

With the SCD you can open existing projects and transfer the configuration to
devices of the same type (with the same type code) and with the same design
use.

To do so, proceed as follows:

Connect a PC to the device

Open the project

Link the project to the device

Change the user group (log on as machine maintenance personnel or
authorized client)

Transfer the configuration

How to connect the PC to a device from Rockwell (e.g. RK512 serial):

 Connect the 9-pin Sub D plug of the connecting cable to a serial interface of your

PC.

 Remove the protective cap on the configuration socket of the device supplied by

Rockwell.

 Connect the M8 x 4 plug to the configuration socket of the device and/or the

device cluster.

Notes

Ensure that the configuration line does not pass directly next to strong
electrical drives or along power cables. This avoids an EMC influence on the
configuration cable.

In the case of devices that consist of senders and receivers, first connect the
receiver because it has to be configured first.

How to open a project:

 From the Project menu select the Open... command.

A Windows file selection dialog box is opened.
You may be asked whether you wish to save the currently open project.
