Import Add-On Instructions to Upgraded Projects
To upgrade a project with new Add-On Instructions, follow these steps.
1. Upgrade the Add-on Profiles to SIL 2-capable versions.
IMPORTANT
Before you import the Add-On Instructions to your project, you must
do the following.
1) Add your I/O modules to the project in the I/O configuration tree
and configure them properly.
2) SIL 2 = Yes must be selected when configuring the module.
This creates the data types and tags that you must use in the Add-
On Instruction.
IMPORTANT
You see the following warning for each Add-On Instruction import
except the first one. Each Add-On Instruction import overwrites the
Add-On Instruction that is called ‘CRC Calculator,’ and this warning
appears because it is source protected. Click OK.
