Local and connected configuration

You can make changes to your device locally or when connected to your ION device.

Local configuration

ION devices keep their configuration details in a template file. PowerLogic Engineering Suite stores the device template locally on your computer to manage configuration changes. The local version of your ION device – the local device – lets you make changes without a connection to your ION device.

Connected configuration

When connected to your ION device, all configuration changes are stored locally until you synchronize your changes to your ION device. Alternatively, you can synchronize changes that were made to your ION device outside of PowerLogic Engineering Suite to the local device by changing the synchronization direction.

Note: Some features need a connection to the device; PowerLogic Engineering Suite will prompt you when you need to connect.
