Issue
How to get a .xef export of the Unity application for importing into Web Designer
Product Line
EcoStruxure Control Expert (formerly known as Unity Pro), Web Designer
Environment
Unity Pro v8.0, Windows 7 Professional, Web Designer
Resolution
Web Designer requires a '.xef' file for the Unity application import into the 'PLC Program Viewer'. If you try to export the Unity application to a '.xef' file, the option
will not be available. The option to export a Unity application to a '.xef' file was removed in Unity 8. The software only allows an export to a '.zef' file. The '.xef' file is
included as part of the the '.zef' exported file.
To get the '.xef' file for the Unity application:
changes are made to the Unity application in the PLC, the process must be repeated to get the updated '.xef' file that contains the new signature.
This synchronization step is not required if you are using the automatic synchronization (Data Dictionary and Program Viewer Information) in the Unity
project settings that is applicable only to the M340 and M580.
