Honeywell 301C User Manual
Configuration
If the controller is equipped with an SD card, the configuration function
allows data to be transferred either from the 301C to the SD card or
the reverse. This makes it possible to transfer the controller’s
programming to a computer or from a computer to the controller.
The first option in the configuration screen is 301C to SDcard.
Selecting this option copies the controller’s configuration and
parameters into a “config.ini” file
1
.
Note: The second option is SDcard to 301C allows the configuration
and parameters of the “config.ini” file on an SDcard to be copied
to the controller. Power must be cycled to fully implement the SD
card’s configuration by stowing the jumper on the SHDN pin (see
the illustration on page 12.) The “config.ini” file contents can be
modified at any time and from any computer.
Parameters
The “parameters” function allows one transmitter’s configuration to be
copied to another or one event’s parameters to be copied to another
event. This allows several devices that share identical or similar
parameters to be quickly configured.

When transferring data, the system will automatically search for an existing
“config.ini” file before proceeding. If one exists, the system searches for a
“config.bak” file. If found, the file is deleted. Then, the pre-existing
“config.ini” file is renamed “config.bak”, making it possible to save the new
“config.ini” file and keep a backup copy of the previous one.
After inserting an SD card into the controller, the controller’s system looks
for an existing “config.ini” file that contains an “autoload” tag equal to 1
(yes). If the tag is found, the system loads the contents of the file and re-
sets “autoload” to 0 (no). This is a useful feature for editing the file on a
computer without having any impact on the controller (such as recorded
Events).
