Special characters in the CSV file may fail to import. The Import command may fail if special characters (for example, =, +, ", ', -) are included in the tag description and the CSV file was edited using Microsoft Excel software. The CSV import process requires and verifies that all descriptions adhere to the IEC-61131 naming standard. In the imported file, the sequence "= is not allowed.
IEC-61131 Name Standard
(The names are composed per IEC-61131, section 2.1.2.)
An identifier is a string of letters, digits, and underline characters that begin with a letter or underline character. Underlines are significant in identifiers (for example, A_BCD is interpreted differently than AB_CD). Multiple leading or multiple (consecutive) embedded underlines are not allowed, trailing underlines are not allowed, and letter case is not considered significant.
TIP:
In Logix Designer, most component names are limited in length to 40 characters or less.
Note that when importing or exporting to a CSV file, Microsoft Excel software can only display Arabic characters. If you are using an Asian character set, use the .txt format to import or export.
