Exports/imports PLC data using the specified converter.

Parameter	Description
TYPE	Type of task to be performed by the action BUSDATAEXPORT: Bus data export. BUSDATAIMPORT: Bus data import. GENERATEPLCSCHEMATIC: Schematics generation.
PROJECTNAME	Project name with full path.
LANGUAGE	Language identifier This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter: BUSDATAEXPORT, BUSDATAIMPORT
CONVERTERID	Identification for busdata exporter. Values are: • PlcDcExchangerMitsubishiAML = Mitsubishi iQ-Works • PlcDcExchangerSiemensTIAAML = Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 TIA-Portal • PlcDcXMLExchangerABB = ABB Automation Suite • PlcDcXMLExchangerBandR = B and R Automation Studio • PlcDcXMLExchangerBeckhoff = Beckhoff TwinCAT • PlcDcXMLExchangerCodesys = 3S Codesys • PlcDcXMLExchangerLogiCals = logi.cals Automation • PlcDcXMLExchangerMitsubishi = Mitsubishi GX Works • PlcDcXMLExchangerRexroth = Rexroth IndraWorks • PlcDcXMLExchangerSchneider = Schneider Unity Pro • PlcDcXMLExchangerSiemens = Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 • PlcDcXMLExchangerUniversal = PLC standard exchange format • XMLRockwellExchanger = RSLogix Architect This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:BUSDATAEXPORT, BUSDATAIMPORT
CONFIGURATIONPROJECT	The name of the PLC configuration data set to export. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:BUSDATAEXPORT
DESTINATIONFILE	Destination file for data export. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:BUSDATAEXPORT
SOURCEFILE	Source file for data import. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:BUSDATAIMPORT.
OVERWRITE	If the output file already exists, this parameter specifies whether it should be overwritten. Possible values: '0' - No (default), '1' - Yes. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:BUSDATAEXPORT.
IMPORTMATCH	Matching options for PLC data import. The import process tries to match imported objects with those existing in the project. Based on the option selected, the matching may be performed by internal object ids or by objects' identifying names. If an imported object is matched with an existing function, properties of the existing function will be updated whereas for unmatched imported objects, new functions will be created in the project. The options are: 0 = Match by internal object ids. 1 = Match by identifying names. Note: in this case, a comparison dialog may be displayed for the user to individually selecting some function to update. 2 = Don't match. Create new functions for all imported objects. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:BUSDATAIMPORT.
SHOWCOMPAREDLG	Shows compare dialog. Possible values: '0' - No (default), '1' - Yes. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:BUSDATAIMPORT.
CONFIGFILE	A path to a configuration file for schematics generation. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:GENERATEPLCSCHEMATIC.
SINGLELINEPAGES	If set, single-line pages will be generated. Possible values: '0' - No (default), '1' - Yes. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:GENERATEPLCSCHEMATIC.
MULTILINEPAGES	If set, multi-line pages will be generated. Possible values: '0' - No (default), '1' - Yes. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:GENERATEPLCSCHEMATIC.
OVERVIEWS	If set, overview pages will be generated. Possible values: '0' - No (default), '1' - Yes. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:GENERATEPLCSCHEMATIC.
RACKOVERVIEWS	If set, rack overview pages will be generated. Possible values: '0' - No (default), '1' - Yes. This parameter is only effective with the following values of the TYPE parameter:GENERATEPLCSCHEMATIC.
