Board files are used to store the following pieces of information:
Names of each axis
Parameters of each axis (configuration word, scale, offset, etc.)
Command fields for each axis, except the Command itself (Mode through Command Value).
Plot times for each axis.
Hardware configuration of the RMC. This includes:
List of the physical modules included (e.g. PROFIBUS-DP, RMC100 CPU, two MDTs).
List of options for these modules. This includes all settings modified through the RMC Configuration dialog box (e.g. PROFIBUS station address, MDT blanking periods, number of SSI data bits, analog board channel assignments).
Refer to Using Multiple RMCs for general board file information.
