Chapter 6 Import and export Add-On Instructions
2. Select the location to store the .l5x file.
3. In the File name box, type a name for the file.
4. Select the Include all referenced Add-On Instructions and User-Defined
Types check box.
5. Click Export.
This procedure exports the selected Add-On Instruction and all referenced
instructions into the same export file. This file can be used to distribute an Add-
On Instruction. When the exported Add-On Instruction is imported into the
project, the referenced instructions are also imported in one step.
You can import an Add-On Instruction that was exported from another Logix
Designer project. When importing an Add-On Instruction, the parameters, local
tags, and routines are imported as part of the Add-On Instruction. Once the
project has the Add-On Instruction, you can use it in your programs.
Import considerations
Editing an .l5k or .l5x File
The EditedDate attribute of an Add-On Instruction must be updated if the Add-On Instruction is modified by
editing an .l5k or .l5x file.
If the Logix Designer application detects edits to the Add-On Instruction, but the Edited Date attribute is the
same, the Add-On Instruction is not imported.
