RSLogix 5000 Code Generation using C#

[TemperedEnterprises 0]

I put together a demo of the c# library I am working on for Rockwell PLC. It basically allows you to parse/construct the L5X files for code generation, documentation, and other uses.

            CsvFileDescription d = new CsvFileDescription { SeparatorChar = ',', FirstLineHasColumnNames = true };

                c.Controller.Programs.Program[0].Routines.Routine.Add(PumpRoutine);

                c.Controller.Programs.Program[0].Routines.Routine[0].RLLContent.Rung.Add(new Rung { Number = x, Text = new Text { TypedValue = "JSR(" + p.Name + ",0);" } });

                c.Controller.Tags.Tag.Add(PStart);
                c.Controller.Tags.Tag.Add(PStop);
                c.Controller.Tags.Tag.Add(PRunA);
                c.Controller.Tags.Tag.Add(PRunningA);
                c.Controller.Tags.Tag.Add(PAlarmD);
            }

            c.Save("c:\\tmp\\testout.l5x");

Here is the code that generates the ladder logic.

And here is another video demo of me generating FT View Studio SE Faceplates directly from an Add-on Instruction Definition File.

wuld you mind sharing more info on this topic. How you are doing it e.t.c, e.t.c

This is a really nice application. Only I see that you are using your own defined package "TemperedEnterprises.Tools.Rockwell.PLC" - is this possible to share this on this forum or on GitHub. This package is actually what does the construction of the XML files.
