How to Define a New Slave Profile in a Private AS-i Catalog
(Original Document)
About us
At a Glance
The Control Expert software offers the possibility of defining a slave profile that is not provided in the standard catalog.
The new profile thus defined is added to the catalog in Private family.
This profile can then be used as a standard catalog profile.
NOTE: A profile cannot be deleted, only their name and comment can be changed.
A profile created and added in the catalog is closely linked to the PC on which it was created, and to the programming software. A project converted using Control Expert or opened on another PC that does not have the same catalog will not display the profile’s name and comment.
