7-7-4 Importing I/O Comment from Tab-delimited Text File
Import Procedure
(1) Select “Import I/O Comments” from the Tools menu.
The dialog box to specify I/O comments will be displayed.
(2) Specify “CX-P IO Comments (Tab Delimited) (*.txt)” or “All Files” as a file
type and specify the I/O comment file (tab delimited text file) saved and click
the [OK] Button.
The I/O comment will be imported.
(3) When the operation is finished, the message “Import of I/O Comments, op-
eration completed” will be displayed. Next, click the
Button.
When an I/O comment import was aborted or could not be performed be-
cause of an error, the message “Failed to import I/O comment” will be dis-
played. Click the
Button to clear the message. In this case, the
contents of the I/O comment table in Support Tool remain unchanged.
If this message box is displayed, check the following points.
Is the data format of the I/O comment file to be imported (tab delimited text file)
correct? (see the following page)
If an import is aborted in the middle of the import operation, I/O comments in the
Support Tool will remain unchanged.
Text file format to be imported by the Support Tool
The Support Tool can read the tab-delimited text file, which was created by the
user, as an I/O comment file. Here, the rule for the text file format is described.
Format
One line must be constructed as follows:
Name [TAB] PLC address [TAB] I/O comment [Enter]
Example
START
0.01
START(ON)
STOP
0.02
STOP(OFF)
N_DataV1082
DM1082
Speed1
N_DataA1083
DM1083
Speed2
For details of the format rule, see the description below and the [Example of im-
port].
Name
The Support Tool imports only the PLC address and the I/O comments to the I/O
comment table. Therefore, the address name can be omitted.
In this case, however, be sure to insert TAB code before “PLC address.”
Example
[TAB]0.01[TAB]START(ON) [Enter]
