1.6.2 Import/Export Initiation
General
The import utility will determine what category each imported value falls in.
All Data Groups
Import will be initiated from Project>Data drop down menu or by right clicking on the
Data object in the Project Explorer.
Individual Data Group
Import will be initiated from Project>Data drop down menu which will expand to show
all data types when the user moves the mouse over “Data”, or by right clicking on the
specific Data object in the Project Explorer.
Name and address checking will be done on the full data area (Constants, Tables,
Network, Variables, I/O, System Variables, System Parameters, System Ladder
Registers and System Registers). The name and the address must be unique across the
full data area, with the exception of overlapping addresses in the Network data area.
The register range for MW+ system registers (MW20000 ~ MW20599) and the register
range for system ladder registers (MW30000 ~ MW32767) are reserved so that user
variables are not allowed in these areas; however, the user will be allowed to import
values for the system ladder type variables.
Constants
The name, initial value, address, and comment will be imported. The type will be
derived from the address.
Network
The name, node, initial value (if present), address, starting word, and comment will be
imported. The type and bit will be derived from the address.
If configuration for the node is completed and configuration for that node matches
configuration from the existing project, import of the network will proceed.
If the configuration for that node does not exist or does not match the configuration from
the existing project, a message box will appear stating “The data for node x cannot be
imported, because the configuration of node x is missing or does not match.” The user
can choose to cancel, skip node, or import the configuration.
1. If the name is unused, the import of that item will proceed without dialog.
