Saving, Importing and Exporting Configurations
7. After the import is completed, evaluate the status of the objects. If necessary,
take a look at the log of the import process. To do so, click the "Show Log"
button. The log file contains status information on the complete import process.
This log will be overwritten during the next import.
8. If components with GSD files were used in the CAx system, you will have to
install these components for the corresponding stations.
Error Analysis after Import
Errors during imports are shown in red.
If a module or an object cannot be created, check whether the values are set for
the following attributes:
• Order number
• Version
• Submodule
• Slot
• Subslot (for a submodule)
If the modules still cannot be imported, then it is probably incompatible with an
existing configuration.
After the import is complete, you should run a consistency check and eliminate any
inconsistencies found.
