Integrating projects

For Schneider SoMachine projects, the component type SoMachine is available in octoplant in the Schneider/PLC directory at.

Component types can be customized in the AdminClient in the Component type editor module.

To integrate your project data into octoplant, proceed as follows:

  1. Create a new component in the UserClient with the component type mentioned above.
  2. Open the working directory of the component using the button or the context menu item Show in file manager (Ctrl+E).
  3. Move the desired project data into the working directory of the component.
  4. Check-In the component using the Create base version and Check-In button.
  5. You can now manage the project in octoplant.

If you do not have any project data, you can still create a component that can be used to create a job, to create a backup. You can then create a version of the project data from the backup that is created in this job on the server.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Create a new component in the UserClient with the component type mentioned above.
  2. Click on the Check-In without base version.
  3. Create a job for this component in the AdminClient and execute it.
  4. Open the UserClient and navigate to your component.
  5. In the Jobs tab, select the backup and click Copy backup to directory and copy the backup to the working directory.
  6. Create a new version of the component and check it in.
