PORTWARE CODESYS Export Kit

CODESYS projects live in Git and Git Studio reads them. On every commit the kit puts the PLCopen XML export of the .project beside it; Git Studio shows the PLC ladder program, the I/O list and every version difference from that XML.

WHAT IT DOES

In your program, on the PORTWARE record.

  • On commit it opens the project, exports PLCopen XML and closes it without saving.
  • Adds the export to the same commit; an export that differs only by its dates is not written.
  • A failed export stops the commit and prints the reason.
  • Visualizations have no PLCopen XML form; objects CODESYS leaves out are listed.

Before you start

  • Windows, CODESYS V3.5 and Git for Windows
  • Early access: the PORTWARE side and the add-in's logic are tested; the first run inside a licensed copy of the program is done together with you.
