Project and global libraries for easy access
The global and project libraries allow you to reuse the stored objects throughout a project or
across projects. For example, you can create block templates for use in different projects
and adapt them to the particular requirements of your automation task. You can store a
variety of objects in the libraries, such as FCs, FBs, DBs, device configuration, data types,
watch tables, process screens, and faceplates. You can also save the components of the
HMI devices in your project.
Each project has a project library for storing the o
bjects to be
used more than once within the project. This project library is
part of the project. Opening or closing the project opens or
closes the project library, and saving the project saves any
changes in the project library.
You can create your own global library to store the objects you want to make available for
other projects to use. When you create a new global library, you save this library to a
location on your computer or network.
