Machine Expert - Safety is directly launched from the Safety Logic Controller icon in the Machine Expert 'Devices' tree. This way, the corresponding safety-related project is automatically loaded into Machine Expert - Safety. After closing the safety-related project or exiting Machine Expert - Safety, the (modified) safety-related project is integrated into the Machine Expert project.
Therefore, importing or exporting the safety-related project, for example, to use it in another application, must also be done in Machine Expert.
Importing a safety-related project this way overwrites the present safety-related project.
Importing a safety-related project is only possible while Machine Expert - Safety is not running.
Exit the safety-related programming system if still running.
In the Machine Expert 'Devices' tree, right-click the SLC icon and select 'Machine Expert - Safety > Import project' from the context menu.
The 'Open' dialog appears.
Enter the name and the path of the repository file to be imported or browse for the desired file.
Click 'Open' to import the file.
In the following message box, click 'Yes' to import the project, thus overwriting the existing safety-related project.
The overwritten safety-related project cannot be restored.
Clicking 'No' cancels the import process and keeps the present safety-related project.
In the Machine Expert 'Devices' tree, right-click the SLC icon and select 'Machine Expert - Safety > Export project' from the context menu.
The 'Save as' dialog appears.
Select a directory, enter a file name for the repository file (*.spa) to be exported, and click 'Save'.
