The board files for the RMC contain the following pieces of information:
Sixteen parameters (e.g. configuration word, scale, auto-stop word) for each axis.
Plot time of each axis.
Axis name of 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).
When opening a board file using the Open command, the entire board file is loaded. However, if RMCWin is connected to an RMC and the hardware configuration in the RMC does not match that in the board file, the board file cannot be loaded. As a result, the Resolve Configuration Conflict dialog box is displayed to allow the user to choose an action. See Resolve Configuration Conflict Dialog Box for details.
This situation can be avoided using this command, which does not open the new board file, but instead transfers everything except the hardware configuration from the selected board file into the currently open board file. Therefore this command only loads the following:
Sixteen parameters (e.g. configuration word, scale, auto-stop word) for each axis.
Plot time of each axis.
Axis name of each axis.
