Parameter import
If the file to be imported is a parameter export file, only the object that was exported appears
in the tree view. The object is shown with a blue icon because the object model was not adapted
in the project. The object is prepared for the parameter import, which is started using the "Start"
button.
Parameter export files can only be imported to device objects or "placeholder objects. A
"placeholder object" is an object that is produced by the "Insert object" command without a
specific type selection.
Note
For FF devices, the type of the object to be imported must correspond exactly to the type of
the start object. If they do not match, a corresponding message is displayed in the "Status"
text box and the import cannot be started.
The actual import is started using the "Start" button.
The import is interrupted by the following message dialog box if the object types are different.
If you nevertheless want to continue the import, you can expect the following results:
– No parameters will be deleted or added.
– Only parameters with the same name will be overwritten in the target object.
