Use one of the following methods to import the integration into an NAE or SCT
archive:
- To use an .imp file, select File > Save, save the .imp file to your computer, then see Using an .imp file to import field devices and points.
- To insert the integration directly into an SCT archive from MCT, see Inserting field devices and points into an SCT archive database from MCT.
Note: If you import the integration into an NAE or SCT archive, information is only added. You cannot use the import process to modify or delete existing information. Delete objects in the NAE or SCT archive to remove them, or to prepare to import updated versions of the objects.
