Managing Projects

4.3.15'Project' 'Document'

This command lets you print the documentation of your entire project. The elements of a complete documentation are:

The POUs,

the contents of the documentation,

the data types,

the visualizations

the resources ,global variables, variables configuration, the Sampling Trace, the PLC Configuration, the Task Configuration, the Watch and Receipt Manager)

the call trees of POUs and data types, as well as

the cross reference list.

For the last two items the project must have been built without errors. x Dialog box for project documentation

Only those areas in the dialog box are printed which are highlighted in blue.

If you want to select the entire project, then select the name of your project in the first line.

If, on the other hand, you only want to select a single object, then click on the corresponding object or move the dotted rectangle onto the desired object with the arrow key. Objects which have a plus sign in front of their symbols are organization objects which contain other objects. With a click on a plus sign organization object is expanded, and with a click on the resulting minus sign it can be closed up again. When you select an organization object, then all relevant objets are also selected. By pressing the <Shift> key you can select a group of objects, and by pressing the <Ctrl> key you can select several individual objects.

Once you have made your selection, then click on OK. The Print dialog box appears. You can determine the layout of the pages to be printed with 'File' 'Printer setup'.

4.3.16'Project' 'Export'

With WAGO-I/O-PRO 32 projects can be exported or imported. That allows you to exchange programs between different IEC programming systems.

There is a standardized exchange format for POUs in IL, ST, and SFC (the Common Elements format of IEC 1131-3). For the POUs in LD and FBD and the other objects WAGO-I/O-PRO 32 has its own filing format since there is no text format for this in IEC 1131- 3.

The selected objects are written to an ASCII file.

POUs, data types, visualizations, and the resources can be exported. In addition, entries in the library manager, that is the linking information to the libraries, can be exported (not the libraries themselves!).

Note:

Re-importing an exported FBD or LD POU results in an error if a comment in the graphical editor contains a single quotation mark ('), as this will be interpreted as the beginning of a string !

Once you have made your selection in the dialog box window (the same way as with 'Project' 'Document' ), you can decide, whether you want to export the selected parts to one file or to export in separate files, one for each object.

Switch on or off the option One file for each object then click on OK. The dialog box for saving files appears. Enter a file name with the expansion ".exp" respectively a directory for the object export files, which then will be saved there with the file name <objectname.exp>.

4.3.17'Project' 'Import'

In the resulting dialog box for opening files select the desired export file.

The data is imported into the current project. If an object with the same name already exists in the same project, then a dialog box appears with the question "Do you want to replace it?": If you answer Yes, then the object in the project
