20. Configuration Wizards
20.1 General
When creating a new sub-network configuration, the Anybus Configuration Manager provides a choice
between starting out with a blank configuration, or using a predefined template, a.k.a a wizard.
The wizard automatically creates a sub-network configuration based on information supplied by the us-
er, i.e the user simply has to “fill in the blanks”. Note however that this will only work when the sub-
network fits the wizard profile; in all other cases the ‘Blank Configuration’ option must be used.
20.2 Selecting a Wizard Profile
The following window appears each time the Anybus Configuration Manager is started, or upon select-
ing the ‘New’ entry in the ‘File’-menu (unless it has been disabled in the ‘Options’-menu, see “Tools”
on page 61).
Currently, the following wizards are available:
• Wizard - Modbus RTU Master
This option is suitable for Modbus RTU-based net-
works.
See also “Wizard - Modbus RTU Master” on page 101.
• Blank Configuration
This option creates an empty configuration.
Highlight the desired wizard and click ‘OK’ to continue.
