How to get the configurat​ion of a bank (not with FP get configurat​ion info)?

Question

Hi everybody!
    I need my fieldPoint application to be able to check
for the filedpoint structure, that is I want my application
to return the number of FP nodes, and for each node how many FP IO modules are connected, and of which
type. 
   I'd like not to use "FP get configuration info", 
which is based on locating the .iak file.  I have my .iak file
correctly generated, but I do not want to use it. 
   At the end, I'd like to have a variable configuration, and when I change module order and number, I don't want
to re-generate a .iak file, (because I don't want to use MAX... ).
   Should I query my modules until I reach an error?......

First of all, thanks, Khalid!
   I want to use the COM port. I gave a look to the "Find
FP-100x example", based on optomux commands, and I found it very
interesting, to my purpose. But I have some questions about it.
   First of all, in the example I have to provide explicitly
an address (the fp1001 address, 0x0 for me), so I should build a loop,
in which I scan all possible addresses (that is 0, 10, 20,... ) which
generate many errors, in normal conditions.
    After this, in the example I get a Module ID, which is:
   FP1001 -----> ID: 2
   FP-DI-301 --> ID 105
   FP-DO-401 --> ID 106
   FP-DI-301 --> ID 105
   FP-DO-401 --> ID 106.
   The list actually matches the order of my FP chain, but
I'd like to know if  these IDs are given to the modules when
they're configured for the first time in MAX, or are set in HW?
   Thanks!
