2.5.9.1
Save Program
An FBD program is saved automatically when the FBD Editor is closed via the "File | Close" menu item or with the "Close" button.
In this case, the program is saved in the PDBL when the FBD Editor is closed.
This window shows the saving procedure. The window closes automatically as soon as the save has ended.
The AutomationStation window must not be closed while this window is shown.
2.5.9.2
Export Programs
An FBD program can be exported to a file (*.fbd) with a name defined by the user. It is advisable to use this function regularly while working with the FBD Editor. If you choose a new name for each copy, you can refer back to various created versions.
A file of this sort can of course be imported into an AS as well.
In the FBD Editor, "File" menu, select the "Program | Export" function.
You will also find the same function in the "Auto- mationStation" window with the "Program | Export" menu item.
Select the file directory and give the file any name you like.
Press the "Save" button.
2.5.9.3
Import Programs
In the "AutomationStation" window, select the "Program | Import" menu item...
...or, in the FBD Editor, "File" menu, select the "Program | Import" function.
Select the file you want to import and press the "Open" button.
The function block diagram will then be im- ported.
The import includes the transfer of all block parameters except for house addresses. Of course, the function block diagram can then be opened and edited further.
When an import takes place, the entire content of the existing AS is overwritten. Any function charts for the AS which already exist will be lost.
Refer to Section 3.5.1, "Use Solutions from completed Projects", if you only want to im- port parts of a function block diagram.

Extended Functions
3.1
Workbench
3.1.1
File Menu
New
Creates a new Workbench. However, do not use this menu item if you want to create a new Workbench. Use the Topology Wizard to create a new Workbench (see Section 3.9.2.3, "Create a new Workbench (and link with existing PDBL)").
Open
Opens an existing Workbench. First, this closes all linked files in the background before the selected Workbench is started. The function can also be used on an inter- project basis.
Save
Saves the active configuration.
Save as
Saves the active configuration under a new name. Enter the new filename.
Properties
Opens the settings for the active Work- bench.
The properties can be set in the following dialogue.
The Workbench then has to be saved if the properties are to be changed perma- nently.
Save password Saves the password for the active log-in. With this setting, you can switch off the password request when the Workbench is started.
Backup options Shows the documents which are monitored by the integrated backup functionality. Use the "Add" button to add new OLE objects. Use the "Delete" button to delete a marked document. For backup, only use documents "AsNet Document" (AS net) and "AStatn Document" (AS).
Change Password
You can use this menu item to change the password for the active user. The new password is saved in the active System Environment (*.dse).
Log In (Change)
You can use this function to temporarily change the active user (Log In). The Workbench must then be saved if the properties are to be changed permanently.
Close
3.1.2
Edit Menu
New Browser
Opens a new Browser in an extra window.
New PDBL Link
You can use this function to link and start an extra PDBL.
Use this function, for example, if you want to link the library PDBL
(CasePrjLib_XXXXXX.lpf) with the current project.
The extra PDBL that has been linked is shown in the Workbench.
Then you can open the objects and copy them into the active project.
Additionally, you can link a PDBL for another project in the current project.
It is not allowed to link more than one PDBL of the same project.
The link is saved automatically in the settings for the Workbench. Use the "Delete" menu item to undo a link.
See also Section 3.5, "Working with Templates and Libraries".
Delete
This function deletes the marked entry or the marked link.
Mark an entry in the window. Then select the "Delete" function and the link will be deleted.
Delete all Browser
Deletes all additional Browsers.
An additional Browser is shown in the Workbench by a "Browser" entry.
Update Security Depot Link
Use this function to register the link to the security depot (see also Section 3.6.3, "User Import/Export (Security Depot)".
Use this function if you have set up a cen- tral security depot and a conflict is shown in the Workbench.
Only PDBL Use this function if a conflict is shown under "PDBL Security".
3.1.3
Browser Menu
New Folder
Creates a new folder under the mark.
New DB Object
Creates a new object in the marked folder.
In the "AS" folder, you can only create AutomationStation objects and in the "AS nets" folder , you can only create ASNet objects.
You can create any objects you like (Word, Excel objects etc.) in the "User Data" folder.
Users must not create any objects in any of the other folders.
Open Object
Opens (starts) the marked object (by double-clicking)
Copy
Copies the marked object to the clipboard (CTRL-C).
Paste
Inserts the clipboard contents at the current position (CTRL-V)
Rename
Gives the marked folder or object a new name.
Synchronisation
Use this menu item to carry out the various synchronisation operations between the PDB and the PDBL. The selection is valid for the marked folder or the marked object. Multiple selection of objects is possible.
You can also access the menu items with the right-hand mouse button.
Read Reads the current status from the PDB into the PDBL. Borrowed objects are not overwritten.
Borrow Borrows the object to the PDBL. The object is blocked in the PDB.
Return Returns the object to the PDB. The object is write- protected in the PDBL.
Publish This publishes and enters a newly created object in the PDB. The object is write-protected in the PDBL and must be borrowed out again for further editing.
Delete locally Deletes an object locally in the PDBL. Cannot be per- formed on borrowed objects.
Delete completely Deletes an object in the PDB and the PDBL. Objects not yet published in the PDB (newly created ones) must be deleted with this function.
Forced Return This enables an object to be returned to the PDB by an- other user. The user requires administrator rights for this function.
Forced Return unchanged This enables changes to be cancelled by another user. The user requires administrator rights for this function. See also Section 4.4, "Synchronisation Mechanisms".
Properties
Shows the properties of the marked object.
The properties in this window are only in- tended for internal purposes.
The most important object properties for the user are shown for each object in the Browser.
Security
Shows the rights that are valid for this object, for each user group.
Use the "Take ownership" button to transfer the object to the logged-in user. (Only possi- ble for objects that have not yet been pub- lished in the PDB).
Use the "Add" button to add user groups or individual users for the marked object (see also Section 3.6, "User Administration").
Options
Shows the options for the properties window of the Browser.
At "Display columns" you can activate or deactivate the columns you want.
At "MDBO double click mode", you can set the op- tions that are valid for double-clicking on an object. Enable "MDBO open" so that an object (AS, AS nets) is started by double-clicking on it.
Expand
Shows the content of the marked folder or the marked object.
Insert in Autostart
Inserts the selected object into the Autostart group. Use the Update Tool to update exist- ing projects.
Backup
You can use the integrated backup function to prevent it becoming impossible to read data after a PC crash. In the Workbench properties, you set the documents that are to be monitored by the backup (see also Section 3.1.1, "File Menu").
The actions monitored in the backup are saved in a file with ending *.lbk.
If a backup exists, you will receive a message to this effect when you start the Workbench.
The project starts in a special backup mode, and only the object relating to the backup is shown in the Browser(e.g. an AS).
Then you can select the vari- ous options in the "Backup" menu item.
Display Original Use this function to open and check the object with the original content (when the crash occurred).
Display Backup Use this function to open and check the object with backup content (when you start up).
Use Original Use this function to retain the original status and use it when you next start up.
You can only select the "Use original" or "Use backup" option once for an object and it is irrevocable.
As long as no option is selected ("Use original" or "Use backup"), the Workbench will always start in backup mode.
Then close the Workbench. When you next start up, the project will have normal status again.
Update
Updates the Browser view.
Update (with PDB)
Reads the content of the selected folder from the PDB. Unlike the "Synchronisation | Read" function, only the objects and object properties are updated (update table of con- tents) and no data are transferred into the PDBL.
3.1.4
Administrator Menu
User Accounts
Users' access to objects can be restricted. Administration is handled on the basis of users and user groups. As the default, 3 user groups and 4 users are set up. User administration is described in detail in Section 3.6, "User Administration".
Change PDB Path
The path to the respective PDB is saved in the PDBL and it can be seen in the links window of the Workbench. You can change the path to the PDB. This may be necessary if the project is no longer present in the original directory structure.
In the links window, mark the PDBL and select the "Change PDB Path" function. In the next window, you can select the PDB.
Security Depot
You can use this menu item to adjust the setting for the central security depot. The functions of the security depot are described in detail in Section 3.6.3, "User Import/Export (Security Depot)".
Defragment Data Base
When objects are deleted, the database file size is not reduced. To release this memory space again and to reduce the file size accordingly, the databases must be defrag- mented.
Mark the database you want (PDBL, DSE) in the Work- bench and then select the op- tion you want.
Selected Defragments the marked database (PDBL or DSE)
Corresponding Defragments the associated PDB
All Defragments the PDBL and the associated PDB
The original database is then backed up with the "*.bak" ending and a defragmentation is performed. The Workbench has to be restarted after this.
