(d) Drag-and-drop from a Reference Project (CTRL - 9). Please have a look at these options. For further help please include.. 1. The version number of your TIA 2. "Name" of source PLC and target PLC 3. In what language is the source coding created in. Greetings. w

Thanks For Your Help Callen, No - you do not have to convert all coding to SCL. Your options for all program lanuages are.. (a) Work through the Library functionality. (right hand side panel) (b) Drag-and-drop from one open TIA program to anther open TIA program. (c) Drag-and-drop from a Reference Project (CTRL - 9). and only applicable for SCL.. (d) Import/Export SCL code into/from a text file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To better understand why you are having problems please give us more information. Information such as.. 1. What is the version number of your TIA Portal? 2. What is the "Name" of source PLC and "Name" of the target PLC. 3. In what language (LAD / STL / SCL / FBD) is the source coding created in. Greetings. w

Then press F1, and search the INDEX for "external source file", and read up on it so you fully understand it. VasiliyZD How to Import from text file (SCL code) to FB? Show screenshot.
