Dialog Options - PLCopenXML

Function: The dialog contains settings for the behavior of TwinCAT during PLCopenXML export or import.

Call: TwinCAT > PLC Environment > PLCopenXML

Dialog Options - PLCopenXML 1:

PLCopenXML export settings

Additionally export declarations as plain text

By default, TwinCAT splits the declaration parts into individual variables in accordance with the PLCopenXML schema, resulting in loss of formatting and some commentary information.

Dialog Options - PLCopenXML 2:: Formatting and comments are retained. TwinCAT also writes the plain text of the exported declaration part to the PLCopenXML file, thus extending the PLCopenXML schema.

Export folder structure

Dialog Options - PLCopenXML 3:: TwinCAT also exports the folders if they contain one of the selected objects. This is a TwinCAT-specific extension to the PLCopenXML schema.

PLCopenXML import settings

Import folder structure

Dialog Options - PLCopenXML 4:: If the import file contains information about the folder structure of the objects, TwinCAT imports this structure.

Dialog Options - PLCopenXML 5:: TwinCAT imports objects without a structure.
