omron — NA series HMI Practices Guide: Importing External Device Variables Application (EN)

 Legend The results of the comparison are displayed in the following colours. ・ Red: The name in the target and source devices are the same, but the data types are different. ・ Green : The variable exists in only the target device (Sysmac Studio). This disappears after the difference is copied and applied. ・ Blue : The variable exists in only the source device (External Device). The difference in variables can be copied to the Sysmac Studio. ・ Yellow : The copied variables. In this status, the variables have not been copied to the “Device Variables” Column of the Sysmac Studio.

Therefore, the copied variables are not applied to the “Device Variables” Column even after the “Merge Device Variable” Dialog Box is closed. You need to click the ”Apply” Button to apply the results of copying to the “Device Variables” Column.  “Copy Selected Right to Left” Button This button merges the selected lines of variables from the source device (External Device) to the target device (Sysmac Studio). Even this button is simply clicked, the results of copying is not applied to the ”Device Variables” Column. To apply the results of copying, you need to click the ”Apply” Button.

 “Copy All Right to Left” Button This button merges all of the differences between the two devices from the source device (External Device) to the target device (Sysmac Studio). Even this button is simply clicked, the results of copying is not applied to the ”Device Variables” Column. To apply the results of copying, you need to click the ”Apply” Button.  “Undo Selected” Button This button undoes the selected copy operation. You can undo the copy operations only before clicking the “Apply” Button.  “Undo All” Button This button undoes all of the copy operations before clicking the “Apply” Button.

 “Apply” Button This button finalizes the copied variables and applies the result to the “Device Variables” Column. After the result is applied, the colors of ”legend” disappear and the variables in the ”Target Device Variable” and ”Source Device Variable” Fields become the same. 14
