The following table describes the IO reference columns for an export/import:
|
Column |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Capability |
The name of the Capability assigned to the Equipment. |
|
Parameter (required if you want to map parameters) |
The name of the Equipment parameter. The parameter name must be the existing parameter of Equipment |
|
Group |
Name of the parameter group. |
|
ReferenceType (required) |
The reference type value is case-insensitive. For more information, see the Mapping IO References topic. |
|
IOReference (optional) |
The IO reference. The format is <Scope>:<ItemReference>. For example, TopServer:MySampleTag. If you are using AVEVA Recipe Management in standalone mode, see the AVEVA Recipe Management Installation Guide for information about OPC UA and item references. If you are using AVEVA Recipe Management with AVEVA System Platform, <Scope> is not required. |
Exporting and importing IO references allows you to easily make a large number of edits in a program like Microsoft Excel.
For importing:
-
Importing an IO reference just updates the value; no new rows are added.
-
For Equipment, the Equipment for which IO references are being imported must be checked out. The user who is importing the IO references must be the author of the Equipment to which the IO references are being imported.
-
A parameter or Capability should not be repeated in the .csv file with a duplicate reference type. For example, if there exists a row for an IO reference such as EquipmentParam_0001,ParameterTarget (where EquipmentParam_0001 is the parameter name and ParameterTarget is the reference type) then there should not any other rows with the same values.
