The lines of the CSV file have the following content:
● Line 1: ,Name,Type,
This line must not be changed.
● Line 2: PLC,<CPU name>, <CPU type>,
Meaning: PLC (designation of the station class), CPU name, CPU type
Only the elements <CPU name> and <CPU type> may be changed.
The CPU type must correspond exactly to the name of the CPU in the catalog.
● Line 3: Module,<module name>, <module type>,
Meaning: Module (Designation of the module class), module type, module name
Only the elements <module name> and <module type> may be changed.
Be careful when changing the module names if you want to import data points into
several modules (see below).
The module type must correspond exactly to the name of the module in the catalog.
● Line 4: Parameter names (English) of the data points
This line must not be changed.
● Lines 5..n: Values of the parameters according to line 4 of the individual data points
You can change the parameter values for the particular station.
Importing into a module
Before importing the data points make sure that the PLC tags required for the data points
have been created.
Note that when you import a CSV file all the data points existing on the module will be
deleted and replaced by the imported data points.
Select a module and select the import function from the shortcut menu of the module. The
import dialog opens in which you select the required CSV file in the file directory.
If the information on the assignment of the individual data points to the relevant PLC tags
matches the assignment in the original module, the data points will be assigned to the
corresponding PLC tags.
When you import data points into a module, but some required PLC tags have not yet been
created in the CPU, the corresponding data point information cannot be assigned. In this
case, you can subsequently create missing PLC tags and them assign them the imported
data point information. The "Assignment repair" function is available for this (see below).
If the names of the PLC tags in the module into which the import is made have different
names than in the module that exported, the corresponding data points cannot be assigned
to your PLC tags.
Importing into several modules
You can import the data points from several modules into the modules of a different project.
To do this in the import dialog select all the required CSV files with the control key.
