Read Me
This project is for the ASCII Art Ladder
It converts PLCOpenXML files of ladder POUs exported from CODESYS into a beautiful ASCII Art
It will initially use:
CODESYS Ladder Editor
CODESYS PLCOpenXML Export
CODESYS Scripting Engine / IronPython
Python XML
Some new ASCII Ladder format defined in this project
Step 1: User will create the ladder in CODESYS Ladder Editor.
User will compile the ladder without any errors.
Step 2: User will export just one single ladder routine to PLCOpenXML
Step 3: User will run the PLCOpenXMLLadderToASCIILADDER.py script, with the correct arguments
Step 4: The script will look for a declaration header as plain text and save this
Step 5: The script will read every subelement of <LD>.
Ones it can't understand will be put in an exceptions tag
Step 6: The script will arrange all of the ladder elements into rows and columns.
This new element array will also list branches in down / in up / out down / out up
Step 7: The script will write each row and column to a text file in ASCII Art Ladder format
Step 8: The script will list all truncated names, and complete all truncated EXECUTE blocks
Example File Output:
//This is a rung comment
(*Also a
rung comment*)
(**Mabe a nicer
* Way to do multiline comments
*)
(** supported features:
* 001 ‘Network’
* 002 ‘Box’
* 002 ‘Assignment’
* (003 FB, 003 FN) ‘Box with EN/ENO’
* 002 ‘Input’
* 005 ‘Label’
* 005 ‘Contact’
* 005 ‘Coil’
* 005 Negated Contant
* 006 Branches (note, branches always close!)
* 007 Set coil
* 007 Reset coil
* 008 short circuit evaluation (SCE) (Toggle Parallel Mode) (I dislike this enough I make you use extended ascii)
* 008 Negation (I dislike this enough I make you use extended ascii)
* 009 Jump
* 010 Return
* 011 Network Comment State
* 012 FBD/LD/IL Element ‘Execute’
* 013 Names are too long (abreviation section)
* I think that's everything actually.
*)
(** Declaration Section:
* Exact copy of the declaration section, with some indentation
* Note any indentation that is the same for each line will be removed

(** Abbreviation Section:
* Sure it can get confusing. Maybe later can alter it so not fixed width ladder
* For importing, it is OK to change the abbrevioations however you please
* Rules: Generally if too long:
* take first three letters and last three and add a ~0 through ~9
* If more than 10 have same first three and same last three, the 11th becomes ~~10
* If there is one or more points in the variable name, shorten the first three and but the point before the ~

(** Execution Section:
* If the execution block is too big to fit,
* either width ways or column ways, write it's Execution here.
* Note any indentation that is the same for each line will be removed
