Introduction

This portion of the document contains important information required to perform to ‘Export-Import Control module’ lab.

Procedure

Step Action

1

Read the following IMPORTANT information carefully.

Decide if you will be performing labs for C200E (and Series A I/O modules) OR C300 (and Series C I/O Modules). You can opt for either one but not both.

_______ C200E (and Series A I/O modules)

_______ C300 (and Series C I/O Modules)

Export/Import a Control Module





Practice

Objective

• Use the Import and Export functionality of Control Builder to incorporate parts from one Control Builder Project into another Project

• Export the Control Module 11_TI20

• Import Analog Indicator points

• Use Bulk Edit Parameters to change parameter values

Prerequisites

• Experion PKS server or client machine loaded with Experion PKS Engineering Tools

• 11_TI20 CM configured in Control Builder

• Exported files of the Analog Indicator CMs for SIM C200E available in the path: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Honeywell\Experion PKS\ Ixport\C200E\L11_Productivity tools in CB

• Exported files of the Analog Indicator CMs for SIM C300 available in the path: C:\ Users\Public\Public Documents\Honeywell\Experion PKS\ Ixport\C300\L11_Prodcutivity tools in CB

• Control Builder running with at least one Project/Monitor tree window open

• SIM_C200E/SIMC300 Controller and IOMs configured

Introduction

A Project file can contain many items, such as IOMs and CMs, for up to 20 controllers. From Control Builder, use the Import/Export tool to copy some or all of one project to another.

• Export - copies the designated portion of a project from Control Builder to a specified directory

• Import - copies the designated CMs into Control Builder’s Project Tab






Procedure

Export Function Block Configuration

Step Action

1 In Control Builder, click on the Project window, then from the menu bar select File > Export, to call up the dialog box, as shown below.

• Select 11_TI20

ATTENTION

Your point list may be different. The point list contains all items in the current project.






Step Action

2 11_TI20 now appears in the Selected Objects For Export field.

Browse to the path of:

C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Ixport\Export

TIP

Create a folder with name Export at given path if not created already.

Double-click Export and click OK.






Step Action

3 Click the Export Button.

• The Exporting Data dialog box appears.

ATTENTION

This dialog box automatically closes if there were no errors during the export.

4 Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the exported CM location:

• C:\ Users\Public\Public Documents\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Ixport\Export

• The following files are generated:

Module Name.bcd (In this case, module name is 11_TI20.)

Module Name.cnf.xml

Export.sl

global.gui

global.snl.xml

• The Export.sl is the successful list file. It contains a list of all the exported objects.

ATTENTION

Here, 11_TI20 was successfully exported. You can import this CM to any other Project with the Import facility.






Import a Control Module

Import copies designated Control Modules from the Import/Export files located in the specified directory (shown in the Import form) to a Control Builder Project.

In this lab, import the Analog Indicator points. These are pre-built CMs and already exported into the following directory:

• Exported files of the Analog Indicator CMs for SIM C200E available in the path: C:\ Users\Public\Public Documents\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Ixport\C200E\\L11_Productivity tools in CB

• Exported files of the Analog Indicator CMs for SIM C300 available in the path: C:\ Users\Public\Public Documents\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Ixport\C300\\L11_Productivity tools in CB






Step Action

1 From Control Builder, select File>Import to call up the dialog box, as shown below.

ATTENTION

When the above dialog box opens, the Project Tree window automatically closes.

2 Click the Browse button and change the Import path to the following folder:

C:\ Users\Public\Public Documents\Honeywell\Experion PKS\ IXPORT\C200E (C300)\L11_Productivity tools in CB

Click OK.






Step Action

3 Import the Analog Indicator points listed below.

Selection can be made with <SHIFT> select (for contiguous items) or <CTRL> select (for noncontiguous items).

4 Maintain the Import CEE Assignments checkbox selection. This checkbox imports and assigns the above CMs to the CEESCEFB61 (or SIM_CEEC300).

• If this option is NOT selected, then the imported items are imported as Unassigned.






Step Action

5 Click the Import button.

• The following dialog box appears:

ATTENTION

This dialog box automatically closes after a successful Import.
