Importing configurations of devices and tags from external projects

Configurations of Process Control settings for devices and tags can be imported into Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks from external project files. In the context of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks, external projects are projects that contain data on devices and tags saved by other systems (such as a SCADA system).

Configurations of devices and tags can be imported from data files comprising the following types of projects:

• Universal-format project.

  This type of project can be obtained from any source by converting and saving its data in text files with delimiters in CSV format. For information about files in a universal project, please refer to the Appendices. CSV files of a project must be packed into a ZIP archive before they can be imported into the application.

• DirectSOFT6 project.

  This type of project can be obtained via DirectLOGIC device management software. If a project contains multiple files, these files must be packed into a ZIP archive before they can be imported into the application.

You can update and expand the supported types of projects by installing updates.
