Rockwell Automation 20D-DL2-CKS1 Import/Export Project Components - Manual (Page 34)

Chapter 1 Import and export logic components
Designer application for a project, you can dynamically switch between languages
in that project as you use the software.
The following project documentation items support multiple languages.
• Component descriptions in tags, routines, programs, equipment phases,
user-defined data types, and Add-On Instructions
• Engineering units and state identifiers added to tags, user-defined data
types, or Add-On Instructions
• Trends
• Controllers
• Alarm Messages (in configuration of ALARM_ANALOG and
ALARM_DIGITAL tags)
• Tasks
• Property descriptions for modules in the Controller Organizer
• Rung comments, Sequential Function Chart boxes, and Function Block
Diagram boxes
The export and import features of the Logix Designer application support project
documentation. You can transfer project components between projects that have
different project documentation settings.
If a component was exported to an .l5x file from a project with project
documentation turned off and is then imported into a project with project
documentation turned on, all project documentation brought in by the import is
associated with the project’s current language. If a component was exported to an
.l5x file from a project with project documentation turned on, all language
switched comments are exported with the component. When you import an .l5x
file that includes language switched comments, the Import Configuration dialog
box includes a Current Import Documentation Language selection.
