5.5.9 Export and import of a partial application
You can export or import a partial application. All modules with their associated inputs
and outputs and logic are exported except for the WS0-CPU0/WS0-CPU1/WS0-CPU3.
If you are exporting a project containing SICK EFI-compatible devices have to be
reconfigured when you import the configuration into another project.
When you import a partial application into an existing project, the stored modules,
elements and logic are added to the project while the rest of the project remains
unchanged. This is especially useful if you need to replace a CPU in an existing
project without re-configuring the entire hardware and logic.
Tag names of CPU markers, logic results, EFI1/EFI2, and RS-232 I/O cannot be
exported. (For example, when an exported CPU marker with a tag name is imported to
another project, the tag name is not reflected. A tag name configured in the import-
target project is displayed. If no tag name is configured in the import-target project, no
name is displayed.)
Among the outputs in the logic editor, CPU output markers, logic results, and
EFI1/EFI2 are imported only when they are not used in the import-target project.
How to export a partial application:
 In the Partial applications selection window, click on Save as new partial
application .
Or:
 Right click on the CPU module and select the Export configuration... command
from the context menu. The following dialog opens.

You can add a description of the partial application in the Description field.
 Click on the button on the right of the Export file field. A file selection dialog opens.
Navigate to the folder where you want to save the export file, enter a file name for
the export and click on
Save to close the file selection dialog again.

Click OK to export the partial application.
