Chapter 7 Configuring a device/device cluster
If the opened configuration draft is changed, a red cross is displayed in the status
bar. The configuration draft can no longer be transferred by a machine
maintenance personnel user.
A project with a verified configuration draft can be saved and later be opened
and sent also to other devices by a machine maintenance personnel user.
Editing a configuration draft You can configure the functions and parameters of a device or device cluster by
means of the tab cards which are accessed via the device window.
A navigation bar with the existing tab cards is displayed in the navigation area of
the device window. The tab cards allow you to specifically change one or several
configuration parameters.
While the tab cards are being edited, you are provided with information where
parameters have been changed and where invalid values have been entered by
means of a marking (asterisk or exclamation mark).
