About Station Configuration Files
Default station configuration file locations
In Series 793 applications version 4.0 or later, the default location of station configuration files is:
C:\
Example:
C:\MTS 793\Controller\FTGT\config
Caution:
Abnormal system shutdown can corrupt .cfg files
Corrupted .cfg files cannot be used in the Station Manager or Station Builder applications.
Ensure that all .cfg files are properly backed up.
Station configurations in Projects
A Project is a folder that contains or references files that are used and generated by Series 793 applications.
When you start the Station Builder application, you select a Project. The current Project determines the
location of station configuration files.
By default, Projects do not contain station configurations directly, but reference their location in the Controller
subdirectory on disk.
You can use the Project Manager application to edit the Project Settings file to change the location of station
configuration files.
