3. Conguraon Conversion
The intended use of the conguraon conversion is to:
• convert custom protocols.
• get a new Communicator unit up and running quickly and then complete the conguraon in
the Communicator's built-in web interface.
NOTE
If standard Modbus RTU commands are imported, they are converted to custom request/response
transacons. The behavior of the standard Modbus RTU commands is preserved.
If you want to add addional commands you have to add them via the transacon templates in the
user interface (all Modbus commands are available)
Locate the conguraon le used with the Communicator Classic, that should be converted to work with the new
Communicator.
In the built-in web-interface of the new Communicator to be congured:
1. On the Files & Firmware page, click the Import Anybus Communicator Classic conguraon buon.
2. In the Import conguraon window, click Select le (.cfg).
NOTE
If there is an accompanying .cfx name le, it can also be selected and imported.
3. In the Open dialog box, browse to and select the conguraon le and click Open.
4. To import the conguraon le, click Import.
The conguraon is now imported in to the web interface of the new Communicator. A pop-up window will
appear, saying The import succeeded with the following messages. This window will present things that might
need tweaking or correcons.
