Parameter data export of EDD-based devices

Export of parameter data
Parameter data of devices that are integrated in SIMATIC PDM via EDDs can be exported:
● Export of the "offline parameter data (project)"
The parameter data stored in the project are exported to the specified destination.
The selected filter criteria are taken into consideration for the device selection.
● Export of the "Online parameter data (field device)"
The complete parameter data are first read from the devices and saved in the project. These
parameter data are then exported to the specified destination.
The selected filter criteria are taken into consideration for the device selection.
● Automatic update and "Automatic synchronization (field device --> project)" export
If a difference in the parameter data between the device and project is detected or if a
device signals a configuration change independently, the complete parameter data are first
read from the device and saved in the project automatically.
The parameter data saved in the project are then exported to the specified destination.
The selected filter criteria are not taken into consideration for the device selection.
The export of parameter data can be controlled by operator input in the faceplate or remotely
via the OPC interface of the MS.
Note
When exporting online parameter data, ensure that the device parameter assignment is not
open elsewhere. Otherwise, only an export of offline parameter data is performed.
This is relevant for the following export types:
● Export of the "Online parameter data (field device)"
● Automatic update and "Automatic synchronization (field device --> project)" export
● Online parameter data export for a selected device
Refer to the export file to find out whether online or offline parameter data were exported.
Export file
The parameter data are stored in an individual export file for each created device.
The export format and the content of these export files conform to the export format of SIMATIC
PDM.
To specify the storage location, select the menu command Options > SIMATIC PDM >
Settings... in SIMATIC Manager and then go to the "General" tab, "Path for 'Assetexport' files".
