3-10 Point Import
To import PLC points from other applications, click the button. This results
in the Import PLC Points From Another CX-Server Project dialog box being
displayed.
The Point Import tool can be used to import point information into the CX-
Supervisor project that has already been configured. The symbol name,
symbol type and PLC address is imported from the CDM file generated by
other applications.
The CDM file can be generated from CX-Programmer by linking the project to
the CDM file. The CDM file can also be generated by exporting from a
SYSWIN project to a CDM file. Refer to the documentation supplied with the
package for information on how to export or link the data to the CDM file.
It is possible to import points from the CDM file of another CX-Supervisor
project but this is not recommended, as only the name, type and address are
imported. A better method is to copy the points from one application to the
clipboard, and paste them in the required application. This way all point
information is copied.
1, 2, 3… Steps to import from another CDM file.
1. Open the Import PLC Points From Another CX-Server Project dialog
box.
2. Click the Open Project button and find the project to import from.
3. Select the tab depending upon the I/O type required.
4. Click the Add button and select the symbols required.
5. Add these to the CX-Supervisor project by clicking the Add button.
6. Press OK to return.
7. Repeat for other I/O types.

3-11 System Points
System Points are those points that are pre-defined within CX-Supervisor.
They cannot be edited or deleted, but their attributes can be viewed. All
system points can be selected from the System Point dialog box.
System points are listed in the points list, and are denoted by a '$' symbol
preceding the point name. To view system points only, select System Points
from the Group: field. When listed, the Boolean Points, Integer Points, Real
Points, Text Points and All Points buttons on the toolbar are unavailable for
selection. To view other points, select All Groups from the Group: field.
