Uploading data to the station database
After using Discover and Add to create a new Lon device (and assigning the device a Lon Xml file), you can use an Upload action to populate current LonData in the device’s Lon components (nvs, ncis, cps).
NOTE: If you are using Quik Learn, an
Upload Config property is already included. This uploads all current LonData into the device’s Lon components, making another upload unnecessary.
An Upload action is also available at the LonNetwork level—with the same Upload window selections. This provides a global upload from all Lon devices.
Perform the following steps:
- Right-click the device or the Lon network in the Nav tree, and click .The Upload Lon device window opens.
You leave window properties at defaults (
true)—Recursiveis always recommended. - To execute the upload, click OK.The driver uploads current LonData in the device to the Lon components (network variables) for the device stored in the station database.
