Import Configuration - Online Options Phase Dialog Overview

The Online Options dialog box displays when you are online and the import has been configured such that it contains logic that can be edited online.
That is, the Online Options dialog box does not open if the import component is being discarded, or if the imported component does not contain logic, or if the import component cannot be edited online, such as an Add-On Instruction.
IMPORTANT:
The text message in the top portion of this dialog box reminds you that any tags, data types, or Add-On Instructions in the import will be downloaded to the controller immediately, no matter what option you choose.
Parameters
Logic Edits
Choose how imported logic changes are handled. The options are:
  • Import Logic Edits as Pending
    Pending Edits exist in the offline project, and are not downloaded to the controller until they are Accepted.
    For the case of Rung imports, the imported changes are added to any Pending Edits that may already exist. For the case of Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, or Sequential Function Chart imports, or imports of entire Equipment Phases, the imported changes will REPLACE any Pending Edits that may already exist.
  • Accept Equipment Phase Edits
    The logic changes are imported as Pending Edits (as described above), then the Accept Pending Equipment Phase Edits command is automatically issued. This has the effect of Accepting all pending logic changes in the entire Equipment Phase, not just the logic in this one import.
  • Finalize All Edits in Equipment Phase
    The logic changes are imported as Pending Edits (as described above), then the Finalize All Edits in Equipment Phase command is automatically issued. This has the effect of Finalizing all pending and accepted edits in the entire Equipment Phase, not just the logic in this one import.
Note that the selected edits option only affects whether the imported logic is downloaded; the new or modified tags, User-defined Data Types, User-defined String types and Add-On Instructions referenced by the imported logic are always downloaded to the controller, regardless of which phase edits option is selected.
See Import Online Considerations for more details about program edit options.
Import Logic Edits as Pending is the default.
IMPORTANT:
Equipment Phase imports that overwrite an existing Equipment Phase may result in the deletion of existing tags or routines. Choosing Import Logic Imports as Pending or Accept Equipment Phase Edits lets the controller continue executing the pre-import logic; therefore these tags or routines cannot be deleted. If your import meets these conditions, an information message appears to remind you that the planned deletions will not occur.
