8. A progress dialog pops up. Wait until an end message like “Import succeeded”
is shown in the grid area of this dialog.
9. If no further error messages are shown in the grid area of the progress dialog:
Press Done to exit.
10. To complete the imported diagram:
a. Re-connect the diagram references to appropriate diagram variables.
b. If not allocated: Allocate the diagram to an application.
c. (Re-)Allocate the signals to I/O boards.
d. Perform Write Allocation into CBM.
e. Perform Generate Configuration Data. This is required in any case.
f. Download the corresponding application to make this new diagram work
in the controller.
If the Function Diagram object already exists in the target system you are queried
for replacement of this object. If you press Yes the diagram will be replaced
completely by the imported one.
In a similar way you can export / import a control application with all its Function
Diagrams, a control application and the controller to transfer the complete I/O
allocation of the diagrams too or a complete control project. Due to technical
reasons it can be necessary to split the contents to be exported / imported into
several afw-files.
For more information on export / import of Function Diagrams and related entities,
refer to System 800xA Engineering, Engineering Studio, Function Designer
(3BDS011224*).
Replacing the Function Diagram overwrites changes of the same diagram the in
target system done in parallel to the changes in the engineering system.
Always disable function Automatic Write Allocation into CBM in IO
Allocation tool before performing import operation.
Import/Export of a large configuration reserves a lot of memory that may cause
the system to respond in an unexpected behavior. Divide any large configuration
into several small configurations to avoid this problem.
