Generating a configuration by importing an IMX file

Requirements:

In addition to the system libraries, the library catalog contains the architecture T_Mechatronic_Architecture and the modular system T_Mechatronic_ModularSystem.

No project exists in the Project catalog.

The IMX file T1_Project.imx is imported to create a new configuration on the basis of the modular system.

This creates a new configuration.

  1. Select the menu item File > Import....

The import wizard opens with the Select page.

  1. Navigate to Project > Import.
  2. Confirm via [Next >].

The import wizard opens the page Import file.

  1. Specify the file T1_Project.imx in the Source file name field.

The file is located in the following directory:

<EEC installation path>\resources\Import\IMX

Use [Browse...] to navigate to the file. If applicable, select the file filter IMX files (*.imx).

  1. Leave the Template file name field empty.
  2. If applicable, mark the Create new project option and enter the name Feeder in field to the right of it.
  3. Confirm with [Finish].

Result:

The new configuration called Feeder is displayed in the project catalog:

The Feeder configuration contains the Feeder with the built-in components Insert, Move and Store.

The new aspect of this configuration is that a placeholder for components of the type Inspect is installed in Feeder.

The Discard component is disabled and does not become active until a component of the type Inspect is installed on the placeholder.
