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).

To import files of external projects, the files must be packed into a ZIP archive (except for files of certain projects whose contents consist of a ZIP archive).

Supported types of projects for importing

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.
AC 800M configuration file for OPC server.
This type of project can be obtained via ABB AC 800M device management software.
Control Builder M project.
This type of project can be obtained via ABB Control Builder M software.
COS device configuration archive.
This type of project can be obtained via device management software for devices supporting the COS protocol.

Configuration files of devices do not contain the network IP addresses that are used by these devices. After adding devices from configuration files, you will need to verify the information about devices in the application and manually define the correct IP addresses for these devices if necessary.
DeltaV project.
This type of project can be obtained via Emerson DeltaV device management software.
DirectSOFT6 project.
This type of project can be obtained via DirectLOGIC device management software.
ABB Freelance 2016 Engineering tag list.
This type of project can be obtained via ABB Freelance 2016 Engineering software.
Project for IEC 61850 devices.
This type of project can be obtained via device management software for devices supporting IEC 61850 standard protocols.
RSLogix 5000® project (provided as a CSV- or ACD file).
This type of project can be obtained via RSLogix 5000 device management software.

When importing a CSV file containing an RSLogix 5000 project, the application ignores structural and custom types of tags in this project. If you want to add these tags to the application, you can import an ACD file containing the RSLogix 5000 project or enable Unknown Tag Detection to add tags from traffic.
SICAM PAS V7 description file.
This type of project can be obtained via Siemens SICAM PAS version 7 software.
TIA Portal V12/V13 project.
This type of project can be obtained via Siemens TIA Portal version 12 or 13 software.
Schneider Electric Unity project.
This type of project can be obtained via Schneider Electric Modicon device management software. A project can be provided as ZEF- or XEF files (if a project is provided as a ZEF file, this file does not need to be packed into a ZIP archive for import).

When a Schneider Electric Unity project is imported, the added devices are assigned the names of the files from which they were imported. You can manually define names for these devices when editing device information.
WinCC® project (including WinCC OA, WinCC flexible).
This type of project can be obtained via Siemens SIMATIC WinCC, WinCC OA, or WinCC flexible software.
YARD configuration file.
This type of project can be obtained via device management software for devices supporting the YARD protocol.
CIMPLICITY export CSV file.
This type of project can be obtained via CIMPLICITY software.
Valmet DNA configuration file.
This type of project can be obtained via Valmet DNA software.
EGD configuration file.
This type of project can be obtained by exporting a configuration for data exchange via the General Electric EGD protocol.
ControlWave project SIG-file.
This file is included in the project used by Emerson ControlWave series devices.
Honeywell Control Builder project.
This type of project can be obtained via Honeywell Control Builder software.
PcVue V10/V11 project
This type of project can be obtained via PcVue version 10 or 11 software.
Proficy export CSV file.
This type of project can be obtained via Proficy software.
Foxboro IACC export file project.
This type of project can be obtained via Foxboro IACC software.

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

To import configurations of devices and tags from an external project:

Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
Select the Assets section.
Click the Import link in the toolbar on the Devices tab to open the menu for selecting the type of project to be imported.
In the opened window, select the option with the relevant project type.
The Importing <project type> window will appear on the screen.
In the Project name field, enter the local path to the project. You can use the Browse button to specify the local path.
Select the relevant option for your existing configurations of devices and tags. To do so, click one of the following buttons:
- Add means that the imported configurations of devices and tags will be added to the existing configurations of devices and tags.
- Replace means that the existing configurations of devices and tags, associated with those devices for which new configurations and tags are imported, are deleted (tags with user-defined process control rules are not deleted).
Confirm the import by clicking Continue.
The data import process starts. Information about the running import operation is displayed in the list of background operations. When the process completes, the imported configurations of devices and tags will be available for upload in the devices table and tags table.
If you want to view a report on the results of the import:
1. Click the button in the menu of the application web interface.
  The list of background operations appears.
2. Wait for the import operation to complete.
3. Click the Show report button.
