Discover in this video how you can generate the PLC code from the process model. We show you the code generation steps and present the various export options. Error-free programming in just a few steps!
Selmo allows you to generate a PLC Open compliant XML and import it into the controller of your choice. This standardized XML format enables you to save programs, libraries and projects according to IEC 61131-3. The PLC-open XML format, also known as IEC 61131-10, is part of the IEC 61131 series of standards and enables easy exchange of information between different development environments and platforms. It provides an open interface for storing programs, libraries, and projects according to IEC 61131-3. By using this standardized XML format, developers can generate their code independent of hardware and use it in different control systems.
To generate the PLC code, first select the target system for which you want to create the code. All supported target systems are listed in the Target System section, and new systems are added all the time.
The PLC code can be generated in a number of ways. In the Project Explorer you can select the plant or desired level for which you want to generate the code. Alternatively, you can choose between code with and without input/output mapping in the quick selection bar. Selmo Studio generates the PLC code and exports it as an XML file to the selected folder.
Finally, you can open the exported file in your favourite PLC programming environment and transfer it to the installation.
The next video explains the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) automatically generated from the process model, a graphical user interface that makes it possible to monitor data, change settings or perform actions while the machine is running.
