For this final episode, let’s have a look at a practical case of configuration import !
Another element to allow interoperability is the ability of the supervision platform to integrate the configuration of third-party systems into a project.
Smart Generators
For example PcVue Smart Generators allow you to automatically generate an application by importing configuration elements from external sources.
They considerably facilitate and accelerate the development of a PcVue project avoiding the loss of time of a double configuration and any risk of error. The wizards guide you through the process of extracting data from third-party applications in order to generate PcVue configuration elements (database of variables, configuration of communication, screens, etc.).

Example WAGO configuration import
The following example shows the import of a WAGO configuration
The WAGO file is selected from the wizard
All or part of the WAGO elements can be selected for import:
The names of the elements in PcVue can be customized with a branch:
The import generates the entire configuration of the communication with the WAGO device as well as the associated PcVue variables:
