Add library objects to an ACD file

Use the Library Object Import Wizard to add library objects to an ACD file.
To add library objects to an ACD file
  1. In
    Logix Designer
    , right-click the ACD file object and select
    Plug-Ins > Import Library Objects
    .
  2. In the
    Library Object Import Wizard
    , do one of the following:
    • In
      Registered Libraries
      , select one or more library objects. Drag the objects to the
      Library Object(s)
       column.
    • In
      Registered Libraries
      , double-click a library node.
    • In the
      Library Object(s)
       column, right-click the blank cell and select
      Add New
      .
  3. Configure the parameters of every object and click
    Next
    .
    TIP:
    • When adding one object, all parameters are shown in the
      ACD Tag Browser
      .
    • When adding two or more objects, link the current library objects to other library objects with one of the following methods:
      • In
        IO Configuration
        , select
        Link to Existing instance
         to link to other library objects added to the
        Library Object(s)
         column.
      • In
        IO Configuration
        , select
        Link to an ACD instance
         to link to the existing controller or program tags. Choose a tag in the
        ACD Tag Browser
         dialog box.
    • Click the
      Override Calculated Parameters
       button to unlock the calculated parameters.
  4. (optional) Configure values of unresolved parameters and click
    Next
    .
    TIP:
    • Double-click the unresolved parameter to open the Edit Unresolved Name Substitution dialog box.
    • In some cases such as a conditional expression, the unresolved parameter value may be part of the substitution to simplify resolving the value. Double-click in the Text field in the occurrences section that will automatically populate the value field for further editing.
  5. (optional) Merge the new content with the existing content and click
    Next
    .

    Next
    .
  7. (optional) Check the import log file if the import process fails. Close the
    Library Object Import Wizard
     and open the ACD file to discard the failed changes.
