Import the edited data

To create the new modules you must import the edited files.

The steps for importing are the same for all modules:

1. From DeltaV Explorer, select File → Import → User Defined.

2. In the Format source dialog, browse to and open SLAVE_CAS.FMT.

3. Click Next.

4. In the Import data sourcef dialog, browse to and open SLAVE_CAS_ASCII.TXT.

5. Click Next.

6. On the Import results dialog, click Import.

   After a moment the Import complete dialog appears. It has a log of the import actions. If errors are reported scroll through the log or open DeltaV\DVData\ImportExportProgress.log to determine the cause.

7. If the import was successful, click Close.

   The AREA_A hierarchy now looks like the following figure.

   

   Note that the SLAVE_CAS modules were imported to the AREA_A level.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 6, opening MASTER_CAS.FMT and MASTER_CAS_ASCII.TXT.

   The import does not disturb MASTER_CAS_1 and creates MASTER_CAS_2 and MASTER_CAS_3 and replaces the contained modules created by importing the MASTER_CAS modules with copies of the contained modules you created. The hierarchy under AREA_A now looks similar to the following figure.

   

   Note that the MASTER_CAS_n modules are populated with SLAVE_CASn modules.

   Importing MASTER_CAS_ASCII.TXT moved the SLAVE_CAS modules created by importing SLAVE_CAS_ASCII.TXT under the MASTER_CAS modules. The tildes you prepended the MODULE_BLOCK_BINDING.MNAME values in the MASTER_CAS_ASCII.TXT file caused the import to remove the extra modules created when MASTER_CAS_ASCII.TXT was imported.
