plc

With a project with multiple PLC's, is there a method to import text when you have addressing the same (example: PLC 1 has I:1/00-16 address and PLC 2 has I:1/00-16, they are in the same project).

I suppose I can copy out the one project, then do the import, then copy back in, just asking about another way possible?

  • Hi Robin. Here's what I would do:

    1. Save the I/O text for PLC2 in a separate file from the I/O text for PLC1.
    2. Insert the PLC symbols for both PLCs, populate the addresses.
    3. Specify the file containing I/O text for PLC1 on Options > PLC Settings. Do NOT click the Replace Text In Project button. Click OK.
    4. Right-click the symbol for PLC1 on the page, select I/O Text.
    5. Click the Import I/O Text button on the resulting dialog, click OK.
    6. Specify the file containing I/O text for PLC2 on Options > PLC Settings. Do NOT click the Replace Text In Project button. Click OK.
    7. Right-click the symbol for PLC2 on the page, select I/O Text.
    8. Click the Import I/O Text button on the resulting dialog, click OK.
