Renaming Devices

To rename the devices, proceed as follows:

  1. In the device tree, right-click PLC ‣ Export ‣ Device list (CSV).

  2. Select the desired location from the file system to save the CSV device list.

  3. Rename the device names in the column Device Name:

    ../_images/f2d0f99337a083900a33139001ac625a
  4. Click Project ‣ Import ‣ Device list (CSV).

  5. Select the updated CSV file from the file system.

    Open the Project Compare – Differences view. If only the device names have been changed in the CSV file, the difference view does not show the changes.

    Note

    Device Name changes are not displayed as changes in the difference view.

  6. Close the Project Compare – Differences view. The Renamed Devices dialog is displayed with the current name and the new name provided in the CSV file.

  7. In the Rename Devices window, select the desired devices and click OK.

    The device names are updated in the Automation_Builder project.
