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 project (represented by a description TXT file or a PXD 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 XML 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.

• PNU20 configuration file.

  This type of project can be obtained via device management software for devices supporting the PNU20 protocol.

• CSV files.

  This type of project can be obtained from any sources in the form of CSV files.
