Import and export logic components Chapter 1
Topic Consideration
Online options When importing programs, equipment phases, routines, or rungs online, the logic can be
imported as:
• Pending Edits that exist only in the offline project and are not downloaded to the
controller.
• Accepted Edits that are downloaded to the controller where they can be tested, accepted,
or canceled.
• Finalized Edits that are downloaded to the controller, assembled, and cannot be canceled.
As with normal online editing, with any online option chosen, any tags, data types, or Add-On
Instructions that are created or modified are downloaded immediately. In addition, any task,
program, or routine properties that are modified are downloaded immediately. These changes
remain in the controller, even if logic edits are later canceled. Pending Edits and Accepted
Edits options do not apply to Add-On Instructions and user-defined types, so Online Options
are not presented during an Add-On Instruction or user-defined type import.
Under the following conditions, only the Finalize All Edits in Program option is available.
• When you are online with the controller and you import a program that contains
connections to InOut parameters and:
− You change the final connection of an InOut parameter online.
• When the connections are different than what is currently downloaded to the controller.
Finalize All Edits In Program is your only option because you chose to overwrite the
program on Import. You must configure the InOut connections such that the InOut
parameter connection is taken not from the destination controller but from the Import file,
or from a new final name for the connection entered by the user.
• When you import a program or programs with connections online and in Remote Run
mode, and:
− A connection is changed from connect to disconnect.
− A connection is changed from disconnect to connect.
− The final name of a connection is changed.
− A connection is added and its operation is set to connect.
• When you import program hierarchies or multiple programs online and in Remote Run
mode.
External access If the External Access is changed, it may change the behavior of your running HMI.
Changed External Access attributes for overwritten tags can cause changes to HMI behavior,
regardless of whether logic changes are tested, accepted, or finalized.
