point, including bus
allocation, time slot
allocation, time slot
crossover, parameter
configuration, etc.
System restore is
divided into two
parts: creating a
restore point and
restoring the system
to a restore point

Network Neural
 Neural network
refers to a working
mechanism by which
the network
management
software discovers
the device network.
This working
mechanism is that
the network
management
software discovers
the device according
to the range
specified by the
user. There are three
ways of network
neural work.

Network Neural
 Do not use: The default state of the neural network
 Only at the beginning: Send a query message according to the
rules given by the user to discover the device network and establish
the topology, and then stop the query.
 Online recognition: According to the rules, when the network
management software is idle, a query message is sent to discover
the device network and establish a topological structure
 Address range: The neural network can discover the devices in
this address range. The largest network address and device address
range from 1 to 254
 List of devices to be discovered: The neural network searches
and discovers devices according to the device list. The user can
define a device through [Communication Protocol], [Device Type]
and [Message Type] and press the [Add] button to add this device to
the list. Select the equipment item to be deleted, and click the
[Delete] button to delete this item

Device nerve

 Device nerve is a
working
mechanism for
querying
devices, which
can query device
parameter
information, bus
information, and
time slot
information
according to the
range specified
by the user

Device nerve
 Do not use: The default state of the device's nerves
 Real-time query: According to the rules, when the network
management software is idle, the query message is sent, and the
data on the network management software is updated in real time.
 Some time interval: According to the selected interval length in
the rules, the query message is sent, and the data on the network
management software is updated in real time.
 Address range: The neural network can discover the devices in
this address range. The largest network address and device address
range from 1 to 254
 List of devices to be discovered: The neural network searches
and discovers devices according to the device list. The user can
define a device through [Communication Protocol], [Device Type]
and [Message Type] and press the [Add] button to add this device to
