Tia Openness Export Blocks This application connects to the TIA portal (if there is one active) and then to the TIA project (if there is one opened). It saves the following elements:
- SCL functions in .scl format
- DB data blocks in .db format
- UDT user data types in .udt format
- PLC tag tables in .xml format
The export location must be specified as an input argument otherwise the program will not run.
Additional comments:
- If there are multiple projects in TIA portal instances opened, all the elements will be exported in same location - with overwriting based on whichever is the last element processed.
- The application has been tested on Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1909 with TIA V15_1 UPD2
- It is required to have .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed
