Move Program in CBM from one application to another
Hello,
We will add new PLC to our system and now existing program from existing application should be moved to new application in 800xA system.
In existing system we have one application connected to dedicated PLC.
Is there some easy way to CUT/PASTE program from one application to another in CBM.
HW part can be done.
I would like to keep as much references/aspects with references. (Graphic displays, Log configurations, ...)

The editing is done in the Workplace ( not CBM as you might expect ) . Just Drag and Drop the programs.
Note: I personally avoid "Cut / paste " operations if possible as they might sometimes break the internal identifiers that actually link PG2 graphics, and more importantly the Cold Retain data which is all held in the 800xA system.
If you have not done this kind of major update before, I suggest that you create a virtual copy of the system and practice. If you get it right, the whole job is a matter of minutes. If you get it wrong, then undoing the mess can take hours.

Hello
It is certainly possible to cut paste the program.
Can we know the exact system you are using whether it is 800xA or Compact HMI
