In PiCtory you can assemble your devices virtually as they will be mounted on the DIN rail.
This combination of devices is saved as an RSC file and thus represents your project structure.
If you have already created a device configuration with PiCtory, you can save this file. You can then use the saved file, e.g. to reuse it for your own application, or to extend the file.
