Import Tags
Launch IndraWorks PLC software, click [Global_Variables], and edit the project.
Struct can be edited in [Data types] tab, and Global_varaibles can be edited in [Resources] tab.
Export Tags
After editing the project, click [Project] -> [Export] to export the tags.
You may select all, a part of, or a single file to export. Click [OK], enter the file name and designate the directory to store the file.
Import Tags into EBPro
Launch EBPro (EasyBuilder), select Bosch Rexroth driver, and import the address tags. The illegal addresses will be eliminated, and displayed in the [Error status] field. Click [OK] to leave.
“Import successfully” message will be displayed when successfully import the address tags.
