Chapter 6 Import and export Add-On Instructions
Export to separate files
If you want to store many Add-On Instructions that share a set of common Add-
On Instructions or user-defined data types in a common location, you can export
each Add-On Instruction and user-defined data types to separate files without
including references.
Follow these steps to export to separate files.
1. Right-click the Add-On Instruction in the Controller Organizer, and
choose Export Add-On Instruction.
2. Select the common location to store the .l5x file.
3. In the File name box, type a name for the file.
4. Clear the Include all referenced Add-On Instructions and User-Defined
Types check box.
5. Click Export.
6. Repeat the previous steps to individually export the other shared Add-On
Instructions and user-defined data types.
By using export in this way, you manage the shared Add-On Instruction and user-
defined data types independently of the Add-On Instructions that reference them.
Using this approach, you can update the shared component without regenerating
all the export files for the instructions that reference it. That is, it is stored in only
one file instead of in every file whose instruction references it. This approach
