To write to the regulators CMW (Enable Comm. Writing) must be activated. The buttons for this are under \ _Basic.
In order to initialize the regulators directly from NS, one must also add the button Move to Setting Area1. It is also under \ _Basic. This button stops the valve, and one can access the parameters of signal type, control type, alarm type, etc. These are parameters that are usually set only once.
