Document #10-32813 Rev A; June 07, 2019 Page 22 of 69Chapter 4 | ConfigurationOverviewProduct features like data logging, Modbus, etc. are configured via .csv files on the drives on your RMA PLUS. Whenyou connect to the device via USB, you can access these three drives: MICRO SD, NOR FLASH, and RAM DISK,which each contain files for configuration or operation of the RMA PLUS. For configuration help, see CSV Creator.NOTE: CSV Creator is provided to help you edit the default configurations over a USB connection. (Files can beread over Ethernet, but not written). We recommend that you do not manually edit the files, to prevent corruption ofdata. Configuration files are only read upon initialization. You must reset the RMA PLUS for a change to take effect.Configuration File FormatsEach row in the file constitutes a record. Record elements are separated by commas. Header rows indicate what is inthe column below, but header rows and empty rows are ignored by the parser.This example shows the data for a Modbus® TCP configuration file. Field bus or application information is in the firstcolumn. The bus number follows and dictates the remainder of the record. Busses 1 and 2 are standard bus records withthe same format. Bus 0 records are ignored by the parser to disable a record without deleting it. Any trailing informationis disregarded.Register Bus Segment Zone Class Instance Member RefreshCount0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 DEV 1 Hardware ID2 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 DEV 1 Hardware ID4 2 4 1 1 1 1 0 DEV 1 Hardware IDModbus® TCP Register Config ExampleThe setup configuration file, setup.csv is found at the root of the NOR FLASH drive at nor:\Setup.csv.
