Import .udt in a TIA project

Imports the RobCo data types so the device's addresses become named structures. The two files are:

• RobCo_Datatypes.udt
• RobCo_Profinet_Variables.udt

Steps

1. In the Project Tree, go to External source files
2. Click on Add new external file and open the files
3. Each file is now under External source files. Right-click on them and select Generate blocks from source
4. The RobCo data types should now be in the PLC data type within the Project Tree.

note

The RobCo_Profinet_Variables.udt file contains demo Variables, as an empty struct is not allowed by TIA. To configure your own, see Define Profinet Variables.
