Data exchange
Data exchange is a powerful feature that allows you to import and export cell configurations. This is particularly useful for managing cells, sharing configurations, or backing up your setup. This section guides you through the process of importing and exporting configurations in the Wandelbots NOVA 25.6 Setup.
via Setup
Use Setup to import and export cell configurations via the Configurations
tab in the cell setup.
You'll be able to select the cell resources you want to export, such as the controller configurations, the installed applications, and the cell's name.

via API
Export cell configuration
You can also import and export cell configurations via the API. For more information, refer to the API documentation (opens in a new tab).
To export a cell configuration, use Cell > Configuration GET /api/v2/cells/{cellId}
.
Initially, this API endpoint will return a list of all cell resources, for example the controller configurations, the installed applications, the cell's name. The generated JSON file can then be used to import the cell configuration onto your NOVA instance.
Import cell configuration
A cell configuration can only be imported for a cell that is already present in the system.
To update an existing cell, use Cell > Update Configuration POST /api/v2/cells/{cell}
If you want to create a new cell with the configuration, use the following API endpoint to create a new cell
and then import the configuration with Cell > Add cell POST /api/v2/cells
Transfer controller configuration to virtual robot
If you want to add safety zones from a physical robot controller to its virtual counterpart for example, you'll need to delete the "type" field from the configuration.
