# Importing a SoftPLC Project Template

New SoftPLC projects can be created from an existing project template. The templates will serve as a basic suggestion which can be further adjusted. The selected project template is then copied, as to not overwrite the original project.

1. Select Import Project and select an existing SoftPLC project.

2. Edit SoftPLC project in the Multiprog.

   Add virtual station mappings with I/O signal configurations by selecting Update in Project Virtual stations.

   Add Fieldbus data by selecting Update in SoftPLC framesize in fieldbus.

3. Select Save to check in the edited project to the ToolsTalk 2 server.

4. Push the changes to the controller.

Select Update in Project Virtual Stations and the SoftPLC virtual station mappings are added or updated to the SoftPLC project, if not already included in the project.
