Export and Import of Project Data

Exchange Project Data

Configuration of a complete PLC or single devices can be reused within the same project by copy-and-paste the desired nodes in the device tree.

To exchange project data between two Automation_Builder instances, the complete project can be exported Project Export and Import.

Export I/O Mapping

To exchange information on I/O mapping only, data can be exported as .csv file. This allows maintenance of I/O data outside Automation_Builder, e.g. in MS Excel.

Right-click the Processor Module node or I/O_Bus node in the device tree and select Export -> IO mapping. To export the I/O Mapping for the complete project, e.g. with more than one configured Processor Modules, I/O data of the complete project can be exported Project -> Export -> I/O mapping.

Import I/O Mapping

A previously exported .csv file can be imported to the project: Project -> Import -> I/O mapping.
