. This contains the definitions of custom prefixes for data-areas and CIO groups which are defined for
the program.
LSS generates a single file (with the suffix .DAT) which contains details about many PLC programs. The file’s
information is organised into records about a single program. The only information stored about the program
which is useful in CX-Server is a table of address comments. Both LSS v3 and LSS v6 files can be imported.
Text files are similar to Microsoft Windows ‘.INI’ files in structure. Headers within this file identify a chapter
of addresses and a chapter of PLC information. Addresses can be imported from the text file for a CX-Server
project PLC. Address definitions (points) inside a chosen CX-Server project PLC that are contained in a single
CX-Server project point group can be exported.
FinsServer files are tagged database files (with the suffix ‘.MDB’) containing node, PLC and network details.
Note
FinsServer tagged database utilities must be installed on the PC to import/export
‘.MDB’ files.
