When the system returns to the “PROJECT’ menu, notice the additional sub-headings that were added to the “PROJECT” menu and are now available for you to use. A brief description of each of these new sub-headings are listed below:

Additional PROJECT

Menu Sub-Headings

CLOSE allows you to close a project file. More than one project file can be open at any time.

VIEW allows you to view; the project file name, project file type, and the current selections for each of the DN-3000’s serial ports.

SAVE allows you to save the current project file.

SAVE AS allows to save the current open project file under a different file name.

SWITCH TO allows you to switch between the opened project files. (Multiple files can be open.) PRINT allows you to print the project file’s configuration information.

GENERATE EDS FILE allows you to generate an EDS file for the current Project. The EDS file is used to tell a DeviceNet configuration tool information about the DN-3000 and I/O sizes. If you are using a DeviceNet configuration tool to set up your DeviceNet network, you should generate a new EDS file for each project.

Use the RIGHT arrow key to move the highlight bar from the top “PROJECT” header to the top “EDIT” header to proceed with editing the configuration information stored in the project file.
