The module will perform a platform check to read and load its new settings.
When the platform check is complete, the status bar in ProSoft Configuration
Builder will be updated with the message Module Running.
2.3.5 Backing Up the Project
In this step, you will create a backup copy of your project and configuration files.
The backup procedure saves your data for reuse on another machine, or allows
you to restore your data in the event of a system failure.
To save your project and configuration files
1 In ProSoft Configuration Builder tree view, click [+] to expand the PTQ-
PDPMV1 tree, and then double-click the PROFIBUS DP icon. This action
opens the PROFIBUS Master Setup dialog box.
2 In the PROFIBUS Master Setup dialog box, click the E XPORT M ASTER C ONFIG
button. This action saves the PROFIBUS network configuration for your
module in an XML file. The recommended location for this file is your My
Documents folder.
Tip: You can use the XML file created by ProSoft Configuration Builder in this step to simplify the
task of configuring additional PROFIBUS network modules. Because its saves the entire network
configuration, you can add modules quickly by modifying only the items that are unique for each
device, typically the slot number and I/O addresses. To use this saved configuration, open
Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where you saved the Master Configuration XML file, and
then drag the file onto the new PROFIBUS DP icon in the ProSoft Configuration Builder tree view.
