Hi guys,
We have developped a web application which allows to get from a FACTORY I/O scene file, the application framework for UNITY PRO (.xef) and CODESYS (.xml) with all the declared PLC variables and the configured Modbus/TCP client communication allowing a connection with their soft PLC. In the case of CODESYS, the soft PLC device CODESYS Control Win V3 3.5.14.20 must be used. Hence, you can save time and avoid errors.
The bêta is here:

Do not hesitate to test and to give me your feedback

1- open CODESYS V3.5 SP14
2- file -\> newproject
3- select Empty project
4- Project -\> Import PLCopenXML file
if it does not work because you use CODESYS V3.5 SP 16 please contact me.

Is it possible to use CODESYS v3.5 sp 16?

Yes it did work but after you have imported plcopenxml file you most download the appropriate libaries in applications folder

Hi,
the interest of this application is to generate a file for UNITY (Schneider) or CODESYS from a FIO scene and a modbus TCP client driver. All the variables are defined and the mapping is done. You save time.

Aaah, sorry. I thought of Unity the game engine (made sense for me in combination with Factory I/O) and was kinda confused what you would do in Unity.
