Export an Add-On Instruction to a single file

If managing each Add-On Instruction as a stand-alone, consider exporting the instruction and any referenced Add-On Instructions or User-Defined Types into one export file. Including any referenced Add-On Instructions or User-Defined Types makes it easier to preserve the instruction signature of an Add-On Instruction.
To export an Add-On Instruction to a single file
  1. In the
    Controller Organizer
    , right-click the Add-On Instruction to export and select
    Export Add-On Instruction
    . The
    Export Add-On Instruction
     dialog box appears.
  2. Navigate to the location to store the
    Logix Designer
     application file.
  3. In
    Filename
    , type a name for the file.
    To clearly identify an Add-On Instruction is being exported,
    _AOI
     is appended to the file name. If the Add-On Instruction is encrypted,
    _AOI_Locked
     is appended to the filename.
  4. Select
    Include referenced Add-On Instructions
     at the bottom of the dialog box.
  5. Select
    Export
    . The selected Add-On Instruction definition and all of the referenced definitions are exported into the same export file.
    TIP:
    This export file can be used to distribute an Add-On Instruction definition. When the exported Add-On Instruction is imported into the project, the referenced definitions are imported as well.
