  • SignalList, a CSV file containing all datapoints, device links, or virtual datapoints.

  • Device links that exist, are associated with profiles, have unique descriptions.

  • Virtual datapoints that exist, are associated with profiles, have unique descriptions.

  • Virtual datapoints with inputs that exist.

After configuration, export a configuration package in the form of a ZIP file.

See Devices for information about importing devices from a CSV file.

Before importing into Power Operation Studio, you will need to open your CSV file and add the absolute path of the SCD file to the PrimarySclFileName column. You also have the option of modifying the Cluster and Primary IO Server Name columns at the same time. See Create a CSV file to add multiple devices for more information about the columns in your CSV file.
