profile may be set by the implementing property,

unless this would cause an ambiguous restriction
flag set.

Applies To

Specifies whether the configuration property

applies to a network variable or the entire

functional block. If the configuration property
applies to a network variable, Applies To also

specifies the specific network variable.

If the configuration property applies to the entire
functional block but itself implements an

inheriting type, the property will derive its type

from the principal network variable. A principal
network variable must be defined in this case.

String Information

A language-specific name for the configuration

property within the profile and a comment that

describes the purpose of the configuration
property within this profile. See Creating and

Modifying a Language String for more
information on creating and linking to language

strings.

Type Range Override

and Default Value

Minimum, maximum, invalid, and default values

for the configuration property member. A
configuration property member can have a

minimum and maximum range restriction that is
more restrictive than the range restriction for the

configuration property type it is based upon, and

can have different default and invalid values than
the base type.

You can enter raw data into this field using any of

the following methods:

• A continuous stream of hexadecimal digits.

Example: 01010101ABCDABCD00

• Dash, colon, or dot separators for optional

grouping. Example: 01010101-ABCDABCD-
00

• A single asterisk character followed by a

decimal multiplier, which repeats the

preceding sequence of hexadecimal digits.
Example: 01*4-ABCD*2-00. The raw data

display may not match what you originally

entered. For example, if you enter “00-00*4,”
it will later be shown as “00*5.”

Using Cascading Resource File Sets

When adding network variable or configuration property members to a functional profile,

you can add resources that are defined at the profile’s scope, at the standard scope (i.e.
scope selector 0), or at any matching scope that is numerically less than the profile’s

scope.
