to monitor the running gateway or modify the current gateway configuration. Any modifications made while online are automatically applied to the gateway. When going online, a mismatch may occur between the new gateway configuration and the one currently downloaded to the gateway. When a mismatch occurs,

FactoryTalk Edge Gateway

prompts to either upload from the gateway or download the current configuration to the gateway.

You might want to modify the gateway configuration while offline to interrupt minimally the running system or to apply changes when the system usage is less critical. Go offline with the gateway and modify the gateway configuration. To apply simultaneously all changes to the gateway, go online and then download the modified configuration.

You can perform these modifications to the gateway configuration while offline:

Generate a namespace from a

Studio 5000 Logix Designer

project file (.acd)

Build and configure models from any existing namespace

When offline, any configured and deployed applications continue to run.

TIP:

Recommended practice is to go offline to modify the current gateway configuration. Any modifications made while online are automatically downloaded to the gateway.
