Converts your Sequence to Siemens Structured Control Language (SCL). SCL is the IEC 61131-3 Structured Text dialect used in TIA Portal. The generated SCL code follows TIA Portal conventions and targets S7-1200, S7-1500, and compatible Siemens controllers.
Use the AutomationView: Translate Sequence command to generate SCL output for the active Sequence file.
Exports your AutomationView project to a standalone SCL file (.scl). This file can be imported into TIA Portal as a source file.
Exports your project to TIA Portal Openness XML format. Openness XML is the TIA Portal project interchange format used by the TIA Portal Openness API. It can be imported directly into TIA Portal via the standard project import or via TIA Openness automation scripts.
Use the AutomationView: Export command and select Siemens Openness XML as the format.
Registers Siemens S7 controllers and I/O modules in the Equipment Catalog. Browse and select Siemens hardware when configuring your project's target equipment.
Registers TIA Portal as the development software for Siemens hardware.
Registers Siemens-specific compound datatypes into the AutomationView type registry, including motion axis types (TO_Axis, TO_PositioningAxis, TO_SynchronousAxis) and other Technology Object structures. These are available when configuring action parameters in the Sequence Editor.
Adds Siemens and TIA Portal-specific action categories and instructions to the Sequence Editor toolbar, including motion control with Siemens Technology Objects, S7 communication blocks, and TIA Portal-native function blocks.
If the extension shows an API version mismatch error at startup, update AutomationView to the latest version.
