Changing the
controller
The selected terminal or controller can be changed for a project. To do so, select [File]
/ [Project settings] from the menu and click [Change] next to the parameter Terminal
and/or Controller.
When updating the system program in the terminal, the terminal version must be
adjusted accordingly in the [Project settings] menu. Else, the scope of functions
provided by the new terminal version will not be available.
If you exchange the controller in a project against another controller with different signal
names, then you also have to change these signals. Use the internal name list for this
purpose. See the section "Name list" on page 96.
1. Select [View] / [Name list] from the menu.
2. Click the [Undefined] button to add all I/Os used in the project to the name list.
3. Click [Export] to output the name list as text file. Enter a name and click on [Save].
Define a separator for the text file.
4. Open the text file with an editor, such as Wordpad.
5. Change all I/Os into signals that will be used in the new controller. Save the file in a
text format.
6. In the dialog [Name list], click the [Import] button and answer the question whether
you are sure you want to delete all invalid I/Os with [No].
7. Click [Reconnect] to update all new I/Os in the project with the new name.
8. Select [File] / [Project settings] from the menu and click [Change].
9. Select the new controller and double-click [OK].
