Set Up Projects

Use the Profile Editor > Set Up Project tab to begin adding, editing, or deleting projects. A project includes all of the tags that belong to the device profiles that you have created and added to the project. From this screen you also export individual projects to the .XML file format, which you can add via the I/O Device Manager.

The Set Up Projects tab and screen are used to create separate projects for each customer or installation. This tab makes it easy to select only the devices that are used at that site. Project data is exported to Power Operation for use in the Device Creation Wizard.

This screen includes three tabs:

  • Selected Device Profiles: (read only) You can view all of the profiles that are included in each project in the system. Profiles are listed with their descriptions.
  • Customize Tag Names: You can customize tag names (for example, instead of Current A, you might need to use Current Phase A) within a single project. See Customize tag names.
  • Project Parameters: You can add optional information to be associated with the export. This information can help you identify the correct project when you are importing. See Add project parameters.

To add or edit project information, click Add / Edit. The Add / Edit Project screen displays.

To view the most recently exported project, click the folder button to the right of the Export Project button:
