Configuring the IclA in IclA Easy
(Original Document)
Overview
With IclA Easy, users can define installed device bases, and describe their associated configurations and communication settings.
IclA Easy then gives access to a group of actions for editing or transferring the configurations and for connecting to the devices.
IclA Easy’s navigation principle associates a configuration interface with each device type, making it possible to control, tune and monitor them.
NOTE: The required signals, i.e LIMN, LIMP, REF must be wired or deactived by the tuning software.
