In this article, we discussed the procedure for how to import PlantPAx Library i.e GFX files, Global objects, macros, and global images.

Note: Select all the GFX, global objects, and images that are interlinked with each other, and if you don’t import all images it will lead to a cross-mark in gfx files.

Import PlantPAx Library

Follow the below-mentioned detailed procedure with screenshots.

Step 1: Open Factory Talk View Studio of Version 10 or above. Click on Local station and continue.

Step 3: PlantPAx Libraries consist of GFX (Displays), Global Objects, Images, and Macros to be imported on Factory talk view studio.

Also, there are many other displays and demo projects but if need them then only restore them as you need to purchase a license.

Below are the controller instructions faceplates but in PlantPAx we don’t need them so click on clear all.
