Hello, I’m searching for a fast way to edit/generate ports and variables. Is there an import/export option to have them in a text format? Is there the possibility to edit a file in the flat format? Are there any other advices? Best Regards Gianluca
Hi Gianluca, Sorry for the delay. As you can see from discussions like this, the variable import/export feature is a popular request, but is not available yet. It is possible to save your PLCnext Engineer project as a set of flat files. To do this, select “Save As”, and then select “Uncompressed Project” in the drop-down box under the file name. In theory it is then possible to edit the project outside PLCnext Engineer, but you do so at your own peril. ~ Martin.
Hi. If you can use a function block, i have with success imported FB’s from old PC Worx 6, in to PLCnext Engineer. (Support Excel export/import)
It’s still not possible to copy from the FB to “Global” variable list. but i have changed so i read the variables via OPC UA in the function block instead. - Emil
