Implementation for exporting alarms to CSV files:

Note: The Exporter will create two CSV files with the alarms and thresholds suffixes respectively. For example:

• SINGLEAXIS7_DEMO_001_ALARMS FILE
• SINGLEAXIS7_DEMO_001_THRESHOLDS FILE

Follow the steps below:

1. Open Movicon Software with a previously created project.
2. From Menu Bar, click Tools > ‘CSV Alarm Importer-Exporter’.
   
    
3. VERY IMPORTANT: Click on the ‘Options’ button and change the ‘Select the column separator’ to the comma ‘,’ and click OK.
   
    
4. Click Export.
   
    
5. Click on the ‘…’ button on the right within the ‘File Selection for Export’.
   
    
6. Locate the project and the ‘.movalr’ file to export and click ‘Open’.
   
    
7. Next click the bottom right ‘…’ button to create the two files with _alarms and _thresholds suffixes.
   
    
8. Type in a name for the alarms and click ‘Open’: Example: SingleAxis7_Demo_001
   
    
9. Click ‘Next’.
   
    
10. Click on ‘Select all alarms’, then ‘Finish’ (won't be greyed out).
    
     
11. Click 'Export', then 'Exit'.
    
     
12. Within the project directory on the PC, find the following ‘.csv’ files and open to view them.
    
     
13. Two alarm files were created:
    • Singleaxis7_demo_001_alarms file
      
       
    • Singleaxis7_demo_001_thresholds file
      

For implementation on importing alarms from CSV files into Movicon, follow the above directions but reverse the steps to import.
