Migration of third party devices

After an update of Automation_Builder the device repository contains only ABB devices. The third party devices which were installed into previous versions of Automation Builder are not automatically installed in the newest version profile. This has to be triggered by the user.

The feature Migrate third party devices is available as of Automation_Builder 2.1.1.

2. Click Migrate third party devices in the drop-down list.

   ⇒

   The window Version profile selection appears.

3. Select a version profile in the drop-down list containing previous Automation_Builder / Control Builder Plus profiles. The active profile does not appear in the list.

After selection of a previous version profile, all the third party devices which have been installed inside this version profile are listed.

During the migration the message window displays success or failure of device migration.

Note

In case of failure during the migration the affected third party device description has to be installed manually via main menu Tools ‣ Device Repository ‣ Install.
