Device Export/Import

The command to export a device is available in the device context menu. Upon this command, the standard Windows dialog opens (by default, that dialog offers to export a device to an XML file ..\SERVEREXPORT\<device name>.sdv). All device structure including parameters of device groups/tags is exported.

The command to import a device is available in the node context menu. Upon this command, all device structure including parameters of device groups/tags is added into the configuration.

If the same object is imported repeatedly, its name is modified by means of adding "(<n>)".

The delivery kit contains a set of devices that can be imported (those devices are stored in the folder ..\SERVEREXPORT\DEVICE_LIBRARY\). The imported device configurations are described in the Description of Built-In Examples section.

Example of device import

To import a device into a node, highlight the node, and execute the Import device command from the node context menu:

modbus_img51

In the stabdard dialog displayed, select a device file exported earlier (*.sdv).

As a result, all structure of the imported device is added to the node:

modbus_img52
