Control Architect requires that Cxxx XML configuration files be parsed to an internal Configuration Asset data Model. This data model is used throughout Control Architect to present data views and support various tools and functions. To begin using PKS configuration types in Control Architect you must first import the configuration data into the document Server. The Import function supports both folder path and archive file as the source of the exported configuration files.
Control Architect also supports converting LCN Honeywell Exception Build (EB) & Graphic DX files, PKS Server Scada exported PNT & HDW file types and Honeywell FSC Safety Controller configuration Excel files. The Text File conversion tool supports reading these point type files and converting their entities to PKS XML compliant configuration files that are stored on the document Server.
Generating Configuration Asset Models
Configuration Asset models can be generated using the following functions:
PKS Server exported Cxxx XML configuration using the Import function.
PKS Server Scada exported PNT & HDW file types and LCN exported file types using the Text File Conversion tool.
