Converts your Sequence to Studio 5000 Structured Text. The generated ST code follows Studio 5000 conventions and can be used in Studio 5000 routines.
Studio 5000 ST routines cannot declare local tags - all tags must be declared in the controller scope. Ladder translation is the recommended workflow for Allen-Bradley PLCs for this reason.
Converts your Sequence to Studio 5000 Ladder Diagram. This is the recommended translation target for Allen-Bradley PLCs. The generated Ladder rungs follow Logix5000 conventions and import cleanly into Studio 5000 Logix Designer.
Exports your full AutomationView project to Studio 5000 L5X format. L5X is the native project interchange format for Allen-Bradley Logix controllers and can be imported directly into Studio 5000 Logix Designer.
Use the AutomationView: Export command and select Rockwell L5X as the format.
Registers Allen-Bradley controllers and I/O modules in the Equipment Catalog. Browse and select Rockwell hardware when configuring your project's target equipment.
Registers Studio 5000 Logix Designer as the development software for Allen-Bradley hardware.
Registers Rockwell-specific compound datatypes - TIMER, COUNTER, AXIS, MOTION_GROUP, and motion function block structures - into the AutomationView type registry. These types are available when configuring action parameters in the Sequence Editor.
Adds Allen-Bradley and Studio 5000-specific action categories and instructions to the Sequence Editor toolbar, including motion control, I/O manipulation, and Logix-native function blocks.
If the extension shows an API version mismatch error at startup, update AutomationView to the latest version.
