Copy Modbus DTM Items To New Connection

[Anonymous user]

Hi guys,

I'm hoping that there is a good way to do this, because I have a lot of Modbus TCP devices to configure. I've got Modbus TCP communications working to one device using the Modbus Device DTM on an M580. I'm manually configuring the request settings and the items. What I want to do is replicate the exact same request settings and items to a new device of the same type. Is there a way to copy and paste or export and import a Modbus configuration like this?

Thanks,

Dan

I agree this would be extremely useful. I have spent many hours manually transferring DTM devices from one NOC module to another when I have simply needed to move devices from one connection to another

Did you find out the way to do that? I have the same problem

It seems there's still no fix.  We're at the lates rev of Control Expert and nothing.... We have a project with a couple of hundred Modbus devices coming up and it's going to be very painful having to do each of these manually.

It is actually crazy that this is not a priority for Schneider. The NOE communication module is much better for mass communication since it is easily configurable and can produce copies of the requests since it is done in the "Data Editor". It is just as easy and quick as copying a variable. Why the NOC does not have this possibility is so weird.
