Improve Bulk import from Siemens PLCs
J
Julian Medina
Due to the lack of solution to ticket 99191 (bulk import from TIA Portal 13), I propose these 2 solutions.
1 (Easiest): Document in the manual what format/arrangement should the tags be written in a CSV file so we can copy/paste from TIA Portal to an excel file to easily export our tags.
2 Make a tool to adapt to the exported files from TIA Portal and/or the DB structure so we can easily do copy-Paste in an excel file and Ignition be ready to use it.
As an automation engineer, learning
yet another language
to make a script for bulk import is not in our interest.So far our only work arounds are:
*Manually adding each tag.
*Use UDTs when applicable.
*Use Siemens' OPC server for each PLC (but requieres v14 or higher and a license).
