Configuration
4.9 Data points
● 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.
Importing into a CP
Before importing the data points make sure that the PLC tags required for the data points
have been created.
Note that when you import a CSV file all the data points existing on the CP will be deleted
and replaced by the imported data points.
Select a CP and select the import function from the shortcut menu of the CP. The import
dialog opens in which you select the required CSV file in the file directory.
If the information on the assignment of the individual data points to the relevant PLC tags
matches the assignment in the original CP, the data points will be assigned to the
corresponding PLC tags.
When you import data points into a CP, but some required PLC tags have not yet been
created in the CPU, the corresponding data point information cannot be assigned. In this
case, you can subsequently create missing PLC tags and them assign them the imported
data point information. The "Assignment repair" function is available for this (see below).
If the names of the PLC tags in the CP into which the import is made have different names
than in the CP that exported, the corresponding data points cannot be assigned to your PLC
tags.
Importing into several CPs
You can import the data points from several CPs into the CPs of a different project. To do
this in the import dialog select all the required CSV files with the control key.
Before importing the data points, make sure that the respective stations have been created
with CPUs of the same name, CPs of the same name and PLC tags of the same name.
When you import the corresponding stations of the project are searched for based on the CP
names in the CSV files. If a target station does not exist in the project or the CP has a
different name, the import of the particular CSV file will be ignored.
Restrictions for the import of data points
In the following situations the import of data points will be aborted:
● The telecontrol protocol used by the CP differs from that of the original CP.
The following CPs with the "TeleControl Basic" protocol are compatible with each other:
– CP 1242-7 GPRS V2
– CP 1243-1
– CP 1243-7 LTE
This means, for example, that data points can be imported from a CP 1243-1 into a
CP 1243-7 LTE or from a CP 1242-7 GPRS V2 to a CP 1243-1.
