Rockwell Automation 20D-DL2-CKS1 Import/Export Project Components - Manual (Page 20)

Chapter 1 Import and export logic components
Configuration Description
Parent Determines where the imported component is organized.
The default setting for Parent depends on whether you exported the component from the
Controller Organizer or the Logical Organizer, whether you are importing it to the
Controller Organizer or the Logical Organizer, and on the Operation setting.
• If you exported the program from the Controller Organizer and you are importing it to
either the Controller Organizer or the Logical Organizer:
− Parent is set to the selected program in the Logical Organizer if the operation is
Create or Discard.
− Parent is set to the parent configured in the destination project if Operation is set
to Use Existing or Overwrite.
• If you exported the program from the Logical Organizer and you are importing it to the
Logical Organizer:
− Parent is set to the selected program in the Logical Organizer if Operation is set to
Create or Discard.
− Parent is set to the parent configured in the destination project if Operation is set to
Use Existing.
− Parent is set to the selected item in the Logical Organizer if Operation is set to
Overwrite.
• If you exported the program from the Logical Organizer and you are importing it to the
Controller Organizer:
− Parent is set to <none> if Operation is set to Create, Discard, or Overwrite.
− Parent is set to the parent configured in the destination project if Operation is set
to Use Existing.
When there is a collision, the components colliding may be identical, or they may
be different. If they are the same, the Operation defaults to Use Existing. If they
are different, imported components default to Overwrite while referenced
components default to Use Existing. Choose Overwrite to use the component
definition from the import file, or Use Existing to use the component in the
project. Icons on the Import Configuration dialog box (next to the Operation
control) show whether colliding components are identical or different.
Situation Icon
Component shows only in the import file (non-collision)
Component shows only in the project (non-collision)
Component collides with a component in the project and differences exist
Component collides with a component in the project and they are identical No icon
To see the differences between the import component and the colliding project
component, click Collision Details and a dialog box opens. Use the information
in the dialog box to determine whether to overwrite or to use the existing
component.
