Export Scanner
Configurations In adapter mode, the configuration tool can export a scanner configuration file
built from the current adapter configuration, which can be loaded into an RIO
scanner. The exported scanner configuration file is especially useful when
converting an existing remote I/O system to a ControlLogix system. You can
then choose whether the block transfer configuration data and update times
come from the values the adapter has observed on the remote network, or
from the defaults from the module templates.
The configuration file includes:
• a baud rate.
• monitored racks.
• block transfers on monitored racks.
It does not contain active racks, block transfers on active racks, or mappings.
To export a scanner configuration file follow these steps.
1. From the Tools menu, choose Export Scanner Configuration File.
2. On the Export Scanner Configuration File dialog box, select the
FileName and BT Module Configuration Data and Update Times
option for your configuration file.
Make sure you use another file name so that you don’t overwrite the
adapter configuration file.
EXAMPLE
The template for a module might have a default value for the
channel data type. The configuration seen on the network might
have another value for the channel data type.
