In the export dialog, you can select the storage location in the file directory. When you export
the data of a module you can also change the preset file name.
When you export from several modules, the files are formed with preset names made up of
the station name and module name.
The file itself contains the following information in addition to the data point information:
●
Module name
●
Module type
●
CPU name
●
CPU type
Editing the data point information
You can edit the data point information in an exported CSV file. This allows you to use this
file as a configuration template for many other stations.
If you have a project with many stations of the same type, you can copy the CSV file with the
data points of a fully configured module for other as yet unconfigured stations and adapt
individual parameters to the particular station. This saves you having to configure the data
points for every module in STEP 7. Instead, you simply import the copied and adapted CSV
file to the other modules of the same type. When you import this file into another module, the
changed parameter values of the CSV file are adopted in the data point configuration of this
module.
The lines of the CSV file have the following content:
●
Line 1: ,Name,Type,
This line must not be changed.
●
Line 2: PLC,<CPU name>, <CPU type>,
Meaning: PLC (designation of the station class), CPU name, CPU type
Only the elements <CPU name> and <CPU type> may be changed.
The CPU type must correspond exactly to the name of the CPU in the catalog.
●
Line 3: Module,<module name>, <module type>,
Meaning: Module (Designation of the module class), module type, module name
Only the elements <module name> and <module type> may be changed.
Be careful when changing the module names if you want to import data points into
several modules (see below).
The module type must correspond exactly to the name of the module in the catalog.
●
Line 4: Parameter names (English) of the data points
This line must not be changed.
●
Lines 5..n: Values of the parameters according to line 4 of the individual data points
You can change the parameter values for the particular station.
