Import/Export - Device table loaded from/stored in open .csv format
● The File>Export menu command saves the device table in .csv (comma separated
values) text format.
● The File>Import menu command reads a .csv text file and puts that data in the SIMATIC
Automation Tool device table.
The first text line is a description header followed by one or more data lines. Data text must
match the expected format, with 12 "," comma characters on each line of text. 12 comma
characters separate the 13 data columns that you see in the export example.
The device table in the SIMATIC Automation Tool configures communication with a device
group. If you put incorrect information in the cells of a device table or in an imported .csv file,
then the affected device operation can fail. Correct the device data and try the operation
again.
Note
CPU passwords are not exported
When you export a device table the tenth .csv file column (Password) is empty for security
reasons.
You can edit a .csv file, add in the passwords, and then import the .csv file. The passwords
then appear in the SIMATIC Automation Tool device table.
The .csv file path for import and export operations is assigned by the Tools>Options
command. The default path is C:\ProgramData\Siemens\SIMATIC Automation Tool\Projects.
You can modify this path.
