11.4 Device Template File Format
A file saved using the device editor has the extension .dev. The file
name is automatically in the format [<Protocol>].<file name>.dev, for
example [Modbus Ext].My_File.dev. The maximum number of charac-
ters for the file name, including the protocol name and the file name
extension, is 31 characters.
If you try to save a device template file and the name has too many char-
acters, a warning appears:
Table 11.1: The number of unused characters that can be entered for the file name for the different
protocols.
