2. Select the device list CSV file from the file system and click Open in the Import dialog.

   All devices that are defined in the CSV are imported. The Project Compare – Differences view displays the current project and the project that has been updated by the import file.

3. Select the desired devices and click Accept Block to accept all the devices and its child device nodes or Accept Single to accept only a single device.

4. After closing the Project Compare – Differences view, the devices are imported to the Automation_Builder project.

   The devices (except PLC) are placed under the device pool if the valid device hierarchy information is not provided in the CSV device list file. By drag-and-drop devices can be assigned to the desired PLC hardware structure Export and Import Interfaces.

   If a device tag is provided for a device in CSV, it appears next to each device node in the device tree.
