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
