The EDS file of some device may have a lot of configuration parameters andconnections. In rare scenarios this would exceed the maximum configuration sizeper device in control builder of 65535 bytes. If this happens, a compilation errorwould be displayed when the user tries to download such a hardware type to thecontroller and the download would be aborted.User would then need to re-import the EDS file of such a device and delete someparameters/ connection that are not required so as to bring the configuration sizeof the device to acceptable limits.Guidelines for Re-import and Re-configuration Section 5 Run-Time Operation168 9ARD000014-600 AGuidelines for Re-import and Re-configurationThis section describes the guidelines to be followed during re-import and re-configuration.Re-importThere is a possibility of I/O modules duplication within the same hardware libraryduring re-import.Consider a modular import scenario in which certain I/O modules are selected to beimported under the adapter, the hardware types for all the I/O modules are created inthe hardware library.So all the I/O modules imported are available to be inserted in the hardware treeunder the adapter.1. Considering a modular re-import scenario, where, certain I/O modules are de-selected and only a subset of the modules are imported, which are currentlyavailable under the adapter. These de-selected modules still appears under thehardware library as they have not been physically deleted from the hardwarelibrary.However de-selected I/O modules cannot be added in the hardware tree underthe adapter. Hence, only the I/O modules being included or selected in the mostrecent import of the adapter will be available for configuration under theadapter.
