Introduction

The Import/Export feature in FLECS Core revolutionizes the way automation systems are replicated across machines. This functionality ensures that the same app setup, complete with all its data and settings, can be effortlessly transferred from one machine to another.

Exporting Apps

  1. Commissioning: Once your machine setup is complete and fully operational, prepare for the export process.

  2. Export Process: Use FLECS Core to export the desired apps, along with all their associated data and settings.

  3. File Generation: FLECS Core creates an export file, encapsulating the complete app configuration.

Importing Apps

FLECS Core offers two options for importing apps to set up your automation system:

Standard Import Option

  1. New Machine Setup: On the new machine, initiate the import process in FLECS Core.

  2. Import Data: Upload the exported file to seamlessly transfer the app configurations.

  3. Automatic Setup: FLECS Core automatically installs the apps, mirroring the original machine’s setup.

  4. Start Import: Click 'Import' to start the process.

Device Onboarding Service (D-O-S) Option

  1. D-O-S Option: Alongside the export function, you can use the D-O-S option to streamline the setup.

  2. JSON File Import: Load the JSON file generated by the Device Onboarding Service.

  3. Automatic Configuration: FLECS Core will install and configure all selected applications as per the JSON file.

  4. Start D-O-S Import: Click 'Import' under the D-O-S option to begin.

For detailed instructions on generating the D-O-S file, visit Device Onboarding Service (D-O-S).
