The RTU Configuration feature provides a way to read, and write the configuration data used by an RTU or flow computer. ACM can configure an RTU if the RTU stores its configuration in BenchMark items (RecordType:IPN) and can accept configuration changes through writes to those items. It is simply a means of backup for the device configuration. This feature is designed to work with any device which reads its configuration from BenchMark items. As such, the layout of data in those items must be defined by the user. This is accomplished by manually creating an XML file for that layout. After that file is initially created, it will be used as a template when ACM reads the configuration from the device. The initial XML configuration file may be created using any text editor. An editor with XML syntax highlighting is recommended.
Sample Configuration
Below is a sample configuration file. Please note that this is only a starting point. The file may have as many or as few table & row tabs as are necessary.
