Dialog: Import PLCopenXML dl-permalink__symbolPermalink

The dialog lists all objects from the PLCopen export file which CODESYS can import at the current location.

“Currently selected target object”

Object which is currently selected in the device tree

“Insertable Items”

Displays all objects in the export file which CODESYS can insert below the selected object

“Conflict Resolution”

When objects are imported which have the same names as existing objects, the conflicts can be resolved for each object as follows:

  • “Replace the existing object”: The object which exists in the project is overwritten by the imported object.

  • “Rename the new object”: The new object is imported with the changed name. The string ‎_<no>‎ is appended to the end of the name.

  • “Skip the new object”: The object is not imported.

“Select”

Opens a list box for selecting object types

“Deselect”

Opens a list box for deselecting object types

“Conflicts”

Opens a list box for resolving all conflicts

“Show Contents”

Opens a dialog where the objects of the XML file are displayed

The PLCopenXML model does not allow VAR_GLOBAL and VAR_GLOBAL CONSTANT to have blocks in the same variable list. If both should be exported, then the variables have to be previously divided into two separate variable lists.
