Supported Import/Export Data
Data which can be imported/exported varies according to the method used to create it.
CVSS creates information about PLCs and addresses. There are many types of file generated by CVSS which
have different filename suffixes and have different uses:
♦ PCN . This is a definition of a PLC, containing a name, network number and node number.
♦
SBL . This is a table of names with addresses, similar to a CX-Server point definition.
♦
CMT . This is a table of address comments. The addresses listed usually match those used in the SBL file.
♦
CUS . 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.
CX-Server Project Selection
In order to import information you must first open an existing CX-Server project file. The Project menu
contains options for selection and editing of a CX-Server project. The importing operations then affect this CX-
Server project. Only one CX-Server project is selected at any one time.
Use the following procedure to create a new CX-Server project.
1, 2, 3… 1. Select the New button in the toolbar. The Create Project dialog is displayed.
2. The CX-Server project must be saved before it can be edited. Enter a file name in the
File name field. An existing CX-Server project can be overwritten by selecting a .CDM
file displayed in the Create project dialog.
3. Select the Save pushbutton to save the new project or the Cancel pushbutton to abort the
operation. CX-Server files have a .CDM extension.
Use the following procedure to open an existing CX-Server project.
1, 2, 3… 1. Select the Open button from the toolbar to open a CX-Server project file.
2. A standard File Open dialog is displayed. Select a file from the Open dialog, followed by
the
Open pushbutton. PLC Memory files have a .CDM extension.
3. Select the Edit option from the Project menu to edit a CX-Server project. Refer to
Chapter 2 - Introduction to CX-Server Projects for further details.
4. Select Close from the Project menu to close the currently open CX-Server project.
The content of the Import/Export tool can be printed. Use the following procedure to print details.
1, 2, 3… 1. Select the Print button from the toolbar. A standard Print dialog is displayed.
