Configuration Editor Menu for Series 90-70 PLCs

Once a station has been defined in the Configure a Station Menu, you may proceed to the Configuration Editor Menu (by pressing Alt-E) to define that station's communica- tion parameters in more detail. Or, you can return to this menu at any time in the future to examine or modify these parameters. The screen below is the Configuration Editor for the STATION_TYPE, SERIES_90-70 and LOAD_TYPE,TCP.

From this menu you can access the screens that allow you to enter the IP address, and if needed, the Subnet Mask and the Gateway address.

Saving Changes Before Exiting the Configuration Editor Main Menu

The Configuration Editor Main Menu is the first screen displayed when entering the Con- figuration Editor and is the last displayed before exiting the Configuration Editor.

Typically, after you have entered the Configuration Editor, you will go into sub-screens and enter or change values for the parameters included in them. After you have made changes in a sub-screen, you must press Alt-U to save them temporarily while you go to other sub-screens.

After you have finished making changes in the sub-screens and back-out to the Configu- ration Editor Main Menu, you must press Alt-U again to permanently save the changes to disk. If you press Esc to exit the Configuration Editor Main Menu, a prompt will appear requesting you to confirm the exit without saving to disk; if you confirm exit, your changes are discarded.

Note

The first time you create a station configuration, you must enter Alt-U to save the file even if you make no changes to default configuration parameters.
