Importing and Exporting Add-On Instructions Chapter 4
User-Defined Data Types Add-On Instructions cannot overwrite User-Defined Data Types. Add-On Instructions and User-Defined Data Types must
have unique names.
Instruction Signature If you import an Add-On Instruction with an instruction signature into a project where referenced Add-On Instructions or
User-Defined Data Types are not available, you may need to remove the signature.
You can overwrite an Add-On Instruction that has an instruction signature by importing a different Add-On Instruction
with the same name into an existing routine. Add-On Instructions that have been sealed with an instruction signature
cannot be renamed during import.
Safety Add-On Instructions You cannot import a safety Add-On Instruction into a standard task.
You cannot import a safety Add-On Instruction into a safety project that has been safety-locked or one that has a safety
task signature.
You cannot import a safety Add-On Instruction while online.
Class, instruction signature, signature history, and safety instruction signature, if it exists, remain intact when an Add-On
Instruction with an instruction signature is imported.
Important: Importing an Add-On Instruction created in version 18 or later of Logix Designer software into an
older project that does not support Add-On Instruction signatures causes the Add-On Instruction
to lose attribute data and the instruction may no longer verify.
Import configuration
When you select a file to import, the Import Configuration dialog box lets you
select how the Add-On Instruction and referenced components are imported.
If there are no issues, you can simply click OK to complete the import.
If your Add-On Instruction collides with one already in the project, you can:
• Rename it, by typing a new, unique name in the Final Name list.
• Select Overwrite from the Operation list.
• Select Use Existing from the Operation list.
