Exporting project to TC6 XML file

Restriction

At present, the TC6 XML export as well as the TC6 XML import are provided as prototypes only.

How to export →projects to a →TC6 XML file:

  1. Select the project that you want to export. (You can change this selection later on.)

  2. In menu File or from the context menu within the project, select Export...

  3. In the wizard, expand the category Other, select PLCopen(c) TC6 Export and click Next >.
    To locate a particular type: Enter a text (e.g. TC6) into the field under Select an export destination to show only the types that match the entered text.

  4. On the next wizard page, select the project to export.

  5. Type in the full path and file name in the text box (left of File) or click button Browse to select a path and file name on the file system.

  6. Ony required for the export of visualization data (see "Visualization for application"):

    1. Select the option Visualization data for GTI PROCON-WEB (only programs and global variables).

    2. If you want to export the visualization data for a certain →configuration only, select this configuration under Configuration. If you do not select any configuration, the visualization data will be exported for all configurations provided in the project.

  7. Only required for the default export: Select the option Export system blocks, if the interface definitions of the system blocks should be exported as well.

  8. Click Finish to start the export.

Additional restrictions for the TC6 XML export

  • The keyword IMPLEMENTS and the implemented →interfaces with →function blocks are not exported.

  • Declared →methods are not exported. Subsequently, it is possible that the exported statements contain calls of methods but these methods have not been exported.

  • Interfaces are exported like function blocks.

  • Variables based on an interface are exported like →function block instances (= variables based on a function block type).
