I come from an AB background. My current job has a lot of Omron devices. We have a couple systems with NX102's with numerous IO link devices attached (IFM 1332, and some IO link sensors). I have the backup files from the integrator (.smc2 files). If I import the .smc2 files into Sysmac Studio and open the projects, will I need to manually add any of the .esi and IODD files to the project, or will they be loaded in automatically from the backup? The integrator alluded I will need to manually load the IODD files, but the IFM 1332 devices, for instance, appear to be loaded ok.  It appears the files may be present, but I want to be sure prior to trying to update the HMI's, as downtime needs to be considered.  Also, I have some banner sensors that are IO link. if I do need to add the IODD files for those devices, where do I add them? I assume these are IO slave devices? I don't see any configuration for them in the project, but again, the integrator alluded to the fact I will need to load these IODD files. Thanks,
