From PLC to Model

This project demonstrates how to automatically create Model tags which are then linked to the imported PLC tags, this is very convenient when the user needs to create an abstract representation of the PLC tags (when using multiple PLC manufacturer with same tag structure for example)

Deprecated

This script is being distributed in the 1.4.x "Scripts" TemplateLibrary

Execution

1. Import the PLC tags to the project
2. Configure the FromPlcToModel/StartingNodeToFetch variable to the root node containing your PLC tag(s) (for example: CommDrivers/RAEtherNet_IPDriver1/RAEtherNet_IPStation1/Tags)
3. Configure the FromPlcToModel/TargetFolder variable to the root node where you want your Model tags to be created (for example: Model/Station1)
4. Execute the FromPlcToModel/GenerateNodesIntoModel method to start processing

Additional configuration

• User can enable the FromPlcToModel/DeleteExistingTags variable to cleanup the target node root path before creating the new tags
