Import and export of recipe data
You have the option of exporting a recipe DB's recipe data records as a csv file, and of
importing them from a csv file into a DB. The csv file is located in the "\recipes" directory of
the SIMATIC memory card, and can be opened and processed further with a spreadsheet
program such as Microsoft Excel.
You can easily manage the csv files on the SIMATIC memory card using the CPU's web
server (e.g. renaming, saving to hard disk, deleting, ...). In order to prevent unwanted
tampering, configure the access privileges for the web server in STEP 7. Additional
information on the web server can be found in the Web server
(http://support.automation.siemens.

Browser chapter.
● Export of recipe data
The "RecipeExport" instruction exports all of a recipe DB's recipe data records from load
memory to a csv file on the SIMATIC memory card. The csv file has the same name as
the DB's recipe. The csv file is stored in the "\recipes" directory on the SIMATIC memory
card.
Only valid and unencrypted recipe data records are exported.
● Import of recipe data
The "RecipeImport" instruction imports all recipe data records from the csv file into the
recipe DB in load memory. The name of the csv file must match the name of the recipe
DB.
