Exporting the visualization data

Export the visualization data that are used in the application within logi.CAD 3. The visualization data are →global variables (configuration-global, resource-global and program-global variables).

There are 2 export methods in logi.CAD 3:

• automatic export of XML-files when you build the application
  

  1. Open the properties of the →project: context menu of the project, command Properties

  2. Expand the group PLC-Object and select Export Options.

  3. Check Export visualization data for GTI PROCON-WEB on building the application.

  4. Define a project-relative path and file name for the XML-file. It is not possible to define an absolute path.
     By default, the file name Export-%Configuration.%Resource-Visualization.xml is defined. %Configuration is replaced by the actual name of the configuration and %Resource by the actual name of the →resource.

• manual export by using the PLCopen(c) TC6-export

1. Start the TC6-export: context menu of the project, command Export..., PLCopen(c) TC6-Export and Next >

2. On the next wizard page, define a path and file name for the XML-file.

3. Perform these additional steps:
   

   1. Select the option Visualization data for GTI PROCON-WEB (only programs and global variables).

   2. If you want to export the visualization data for a certain →configuration only, select this configuration under Configuration. If you do not select any configuration, the visualization data will be exported for all configurations provided in the project.

4. Click Finish to create the XML-file.

After the XML-file has been created, import it in the visualization project created by using PROCON-WEB IoT Designer.
