Creating and Modifying the Analog Functional Block XML
File
You can create and manage the #8000010128000000[4].UFPTanalogFunctionBlock.xml file with the
Set SOAP function. The following section, Analog Functional Block SOAP Interface, describes how
to use Set and the other SOAP functions provided for the Analog Functional Block application.
Alternatively, you can create and manage the #8000010128000000[4].UFPTanalogFunctionBlock.xml
file manually with an XML editor and download it to the SmartServer via FTP. Echelon does not
recommend this, as the SmartServer will require a reboot to read the configuration of the downloaded
file. Additionally, the SmartServer performs error checking on all SOAP messages it receives before
writing to the XML file. It will not perform error checking on any XML files you download via FTP,
and thus the application may not boot properly.
If you plan to create the XML file manually, you should review the rest of this chapter first, as it
describes the elements and properties in the XML file that define each Analog Functional Block’s
configuration.
