8.1.3 Importing
This menu command starts the import of device data from an XML file to a PDM object.
Make the settings for the import of device data in the "Import - <object name>" dialog.
If a device is opened twice, for example, by opening the higher-level network and by opening
it directly, this menu command is grayed out in the second window and can only be accessed
in the window that was opened first.

8.1.3.1 "Import - <Object name>" dialog box
In the "Import - <Object name>" dialog box, make the settings for the import of device data
and start the import function.
The import assigns the data created for a device of network by the export to XML files to an
existing device or network. You can select these XML files as the import file.
Import file
In the "Import file" input box, enter the XML file that contains the data of the required device
or network.
As soon as you enter the import file (parameter import file or structure import file), a device
type consistency check is performed automatically. You can find information on this in the
section "Importing configuration and parameter assignment data (Page 120)".
