Delta ISPSoft — 6.2.8 Importing a Symbol Table

ISPSoft User Manual Select a file which will be imported in the Import Symbol List window, select an option button in the Clear Table before Importing section, and click OK . Additional remark A symbol table exported from a project for a model or a POU can be imported into a project for another model or another POU. Currently, the DVPxxMC and AS5xx series do not support export and import symbol variables with other model types. However, if a symbol in a file which will be imported is in one of the situations listed below, the symbol will be automatically eliminated or converted.

Besides, if an error occurs when a symbol table is imported, the error log will be saved as a file whose primary filename is “ Project name_ErrorLog ” in a folder in which the project (*.isp) is saved. Users can know the error occurring when the symbol is imported by viewing the file. (a) If a symbol in a file is imported into a symbol table where the same identifier exists, the symbol will be automatically eliminated from the file. If the contents of a symbol table are cleared before a symbol table is imported, no such problem will occur.

(b) If the data type of a symbol in a file is not supported by a project for a model, the symbol is eliminated from the file when the file is imported into the project. (c) If the device assigned to a symbol in a file is not supported by a project for a model, or the device is not within the range of devices in the model, the symbol is eliminated from the file when the file is imported into the project. (d) If the class of a symbol in a file is incompatible with the symbol table in a POU or a global symbol table, the symbol is eliminated from the file when the file is imported into the symbol table in the POU or the global table.

(e) If a symbol in a project for an AH/AS series CPU module is a symbol of the VAR_RETAIN class, the symbol will become a symbol of the VAR class after the symbol is imported into a project for a DVP series PLC. An example of importing the global symbol in a project for AHCPU530-EN into a project for a DVP-SV series PLC is shown below. Var_A, Var_B, and Var_C in the project for AHCPU530-EN can be imported into the 6-38
