Importing and Exporting Files

Introduction

This document describes how to use version 2.2 (major revision 2,

minor revision 2) of the import/export utility that is included with

RSLogix 5000 programming software, version 11.10.

With a Logix controller, you can import/export an entire project or

you can import/export tags within a project.

When you import or export a project, you use the entire project. The

text file is a complete import/export file, that includes tag definitions,

data, program logic, I/O configuration information, and controller

configuration information. If you import or export tags, the text file is

a partial import/export file, that includes only tag definitions and

tag comments.

The structure of the import/export file depends on whether you

perform a complete or partial import/export operation. There are also

different considerations for complete and partial import/export

operations. This chapter shows how to perform the import/export

operations and describes any considerations.

When working with: You can: See Page:

projects import a text file to create a project 1-2

export a project into a text (.L5K) file 1-3

tags import tags into a project 1-4

export tags into a text (.CVS) file 1-6
