Command: Import IEC-61131-10

Important

This feature is recommended only for exchange with other IDEs because it only handles elements which are also supported by the IEC 61131-10 standard. Other objects (such as CFC objects or library manager) are not supported. For an export/import from CODESYS to CODESYS, we therefore continue to recommend the native import/export in order to get 100% coverage.

Symbol:

Function: The command opens a standard dialog for importing an XML file in the format IecXchangefiles (*.xml). When importing, the Import dialog opens, which provides functions for selecting and deselecting objects and for handling conflicts. Depending on the selected object in the Devices or POUs view, the list of elements which can be inserted there is refreshed in the import dialog. As long as the dialog is open, the selection can be changed by clicking in the Devices or POUs view.

Call: The command is not included in any standard menu. You can add it by means of the Tools → Customize dialog in the Devices category. For more information, see: Customizing Menus

Requirement: A project is open.
