UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Do not under any circumstances change or remove any of the undocumented <profile_name>.ini parameters.
Before deleting sections of the <profile_name>.ini file, confirm that no undocumented parameters will be deleted.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

A profile stores runtime parameter settings that are specific to a particular type of computer within a Citect SCADA system (for example, a client or server). These settings are stored in a "<profile_name>.ini" file that can be distributed to any computer where a project is deployed.

Profiles are created in the Topology activity using the Profile Wizard.

The Citect SCADA Example Project includes three profiles that you can select from the Profile Setup Page in the Setup Wizard. Once you have selected the profile you would like, you can compile and run the Example project.

You can use the Deployment activity to distribute Profile.ini files to the computers in a Citect SCADA system (see Deployment Computers).

Note: To use an INI file you create with the Profile Wizard, either select it locally on a computer using the Computer Setup Wizard, or use the deployment feature.
