CHAPTER 4
Import/Export Tool
This chapter describes the use of the CX-Server Import/Export tool, which allows FinsServer database files and
CVSS and LSS definitions of addresses and PLCs to be imported into CX-Server project files. SYSWIN Text
files can also be imported.
A CX-Server project file contains definitions of addresses and PLCs which may be accessed. The concept of
address and PLC definitions is not unique to CX-Server – the OMRON products CVSS and LSS have similar
concepts.
The Import/Export tool allows these definitions to be used by importing them into a CX-Server project file.
Once these definitions of the PLCs and points (addresses) have been imported for use with CX-Server, they may
be used by a CX-Server client. For example, the addresses used in a CVSS program could be used by the
supervisory program SYSMAC-SCS.
The status bar provides instant help.
The Import/Export tool main window provides all the menu options for importing CVSS, LSS, text and
FinsServer files into a CX-Server project file.
The main window shows the status of any import or export event which occurs. It shows any decision which the
Import/Export tool makes about importing into a CX-Server project.
The main window is continually updated with information as import and export procedures are
performed. This information can be cleared by selecting the
Clear Screen button from the
toolbar.
For moving, resizing, maximising, minimising and closing windows, refer to Microsoft Windows online help for
further information.
To access the Import/Export tool click the Start pushbutton on the Microsoft Windows
taskbar and select Programs/Omron/CX-Server/Import/Export from the menu.
To close the Import/Export tool, select the Close button in the title bar.
