Modbus Connectors: Backing-up the register map(s)

After creating and saving the project snapshot in Building Operator Discovery, do the following additional steps to save and backup the Register Map source for a Modbus connector:

NOTE: The CSV backup file created in this procedure must match the current name of the Register Maps for the Modbus devices in your project.

  1. From the DB Building project tree, select Connectors > Modbus > Register Maps > <MyMap>.

    NOTE: <MyMap> is the name of a register map for one of the Modbus devices in your project.
  1. Select Edit Source at the bottom of the pane.
  • The Edit Source dialog box displays.
  1. Copy the Register Map source to the clipboard.
  1. Save the clipboard data to a CSV file, named: <MyMap>.csv.

    NOTE: "MyMap" is the name of the register map for the Modbus device selected in Step 1.
  1. Repeat for each register map as required.
  1. Keep the CSV file(s) together with the project snapshot file.
  • When you are ready to restore your project backup, you will also have to restore the register map file(s). See, Modbus Connectors: Restoring the register map(s).
