Use Auto-Build with the ABCIP Communication Driver

Auto-Build is an Engineering Efficiency feature that allows you to read the templates and instances in the controllers capable of running the Auto-Build feature. You can also replicate these structures to Application Server using a set of simple steps, that allows a one-to-one correspondence between the PLC and a Galaxy project.

This feature is accessible in the Auto-Build tab of the appropriate Logix controller hierarchy within the OI Server Manager.

Auto-Build browsing can be accomplished online if connected to the PLC, or offline if the PLC file is available. The Auto-Build feature supports only user-defined data types. It does not support other data types.

This section describes the following:

• Prerequisites for Auto-Build operation

• Access the Auto-Build screen

• Monitor Auto-Build Progress

• Generate template in the Application Server

• PLC Tag Database feature support

• Auto-Build data type mapping
