Configuration with the Configuration Tool

Selecting MXChange Database Actions/Compact reduces the size of the MX-
Change database file by removing any unused space.
Selecting MXChange Database Actions/Change password changes the password to
the MXChange database (normally left blank). In the window that appears, you must
enter the old password correctly for security, and then type the new password twice
to make sure that it is typed correctly.
Selecting MXChange Database Actions/Close closes the MXChange database.
MXChange Project Actions
The menu options in the MXChange Project Actions menu apply to the selected
driver, and the actions apply only to the current project within MXChange.
Select MXChange Project Actions/Name List to display the E-Designer name list
for the selected project.
Selecting MXChange Project Actions/Global Adjust is used to make sure that the
MXChange server and the E-Designer project have the same information for all tags.
The MXChange database is treated as the “master” tag list, and in cases where the
E-Designer project and the MXChange database differ, the information from
MXChange is used. The global adjust will be performed in about 10 seconds.
Selecting MXChange Project Actions/Delete completely deletes the current
E-Designer project from MXChange and breaks all tag links.
MELSEC File
The menu options in the MELSEC File menu apply to the selected driver, and is
used to import variable naming from MELSEC MEDOC or GX IEC Developer.
The file formats .nam, .asc and .csv are supported.
