There must be at least one keyword in the option list. For multiple keywords, the
keywords can occur in any order, but the same keyword must not appear more
than once. Keywords must be separated by commas.
You can specify the following configuration property options:
device_specific
Specifies a configuration property that should always be
read from the device instead of relying upon the value in
the device interface file or a value stored in a network
database. This mechanism is used for configuration
properties that must be managed by the device or by a
passive configuration tool that does not have access to the
network database. An example of such a configuration
property is a setpoint that is updated by a local operator
interface on the device.
Recommendation: Declare a device_specific CP family or
configuration network variable as const. If the CP family
or configuration property network variable is defined
within a functional profile and the declaration does not
match the profile, the compiler issues a warning message.
manufacturing_only Specifies a factory setting that can be read or written
when the device is manufactured, but is not normally (or
ever) modified in the field. In this way a standard
network tool can be used to calibrate the device when a
device is manufactured, while a field installation tool
would observe the flag in the field and prevent updates or
require a password to modify the value.
object_disabled Specifies that a network tool must disable the functional
block containing the configuration property, take the
device offline, or ensure that the functional block is
already disabled or the device is already offline, before
modifying the configuration property.
offline Specifies that a network tool must take this device offline,
or ensure the device is already offline, before modifying
the configuration property.
A configuration property can be declared as both offline
and object_disabled. In this case, the offline declaration
takes precedence.
reset_required Specifies that a network tool must reset the device after
changing the value of the configuration property.
The optional range-mod modifier allows you to specify a range-modification string
that modifies the valid range for the configuration property defined by the
resource file. The range-modification string can only be used with fixed-point
and floating-point types, and consists of a pair of either fixed-point or floating-
