based on the Modbus TCP?
NAPOPC_ST DA Server provides a new function to import a CSV file to quickly create a
NAPOPC_ST project based on the Modbus TCP (applies to version v3.54 or after). This FAQ
describes this function and its configuration.
The Steps:
1. Edit a CSV File
User can edit a CSV file using a text editor (or software), such as Notepad or Wordpad, or a
spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel. Please follow the file format listed below to
edit the contents, including separate the column data by a comma "," and save the file with
the extension file name ".CSV".

The file name must be *.csv, the first row is for the column title name, the column data are
separated by a comma, and every row is to set the Device information. For example:
Note 1: IP: IP Address, Port, and Address.
