8.1.2.1 "Export - <Object name>" dialog box
Use the "Export - <Object name>" dialog box to make the settings for exporting device data
and start the export function.
Selecting the export path and transformation file
● Export path
Enter the path for storing the generated XML files in the input box. The name of each
exported XML file is structured as follows:
Parameter export
Param$<Plant-specific device name>$<Date(YYYYMMDD_hhmmss)>.xml
Structure export
Struct$<Plant-specific device name>$<Date(YYYYMMDD_hhmmss)>.xml
Note
The parameter export files are identified with the described prefix only in PDM V8.0.2 and
higher.
● HTML transformation file
– XSL file that contains the information for display in HTML format.
– This input box allows you to specify a file containing reference data for how the export
file (XML format) should look. To create plant-specific HTML transformation files, use
the default file as your starting point.
Selecting data for export
The following information can be included in the parameter export:
● Device parameters
Device parameters of the devices selected before export.
● Diagnostics
Table listing diagnostic parameters plus the associated diagnostic text.
● Document Manager
Table listing the names of the documents that have been assigned to a device.
If all three check boxes are cleared, only the structure export file is created. A directory
containing parameter export files is not created.
The structure export file contains information on the object topology with all details required to
generate the exported object structure again or to correspondingly expand an existing object
structure.
