Description

Unity Pro Export to Spreadsheet

AEUNITYPROSS

Imports Unity Pro hardware (.xhw) and I/O variable (.xsy) files into AutoCAD Electrical toolset to reformat the data into a PLC import spreadsheet. After the spreadsheet file is created use the Spreadsheet to PLC I/O Utility tool to automatically create PLC style drawing files.

Spreadsheet to PLC I/O Utility

AESS2PLC

Creates a set of PLC I/O drawings from spreadsheet data. A project's PLC I/O requirements, in spreadsheet or database format, can drive automatic generation of the I/O schematic drawings. Your information can be read directly in Excel format (“.XLS”), as a table in an Access Database file (.MDB), or you can save your information out to a comma-delimited format (“CSV”) and then let AutoCAD Electrical toolset construct a set of PLC I/O wiring diagrams directly from your data. Ladders and modules insert automatically, breaking at the bottom of one ladder and continuing on the next (or on to the next drawing).

AEIMPORTSS

Imports data from an edited spreadsheet, and retags or updates components, wire numbers, terminal text, or PLC I/O.

Update from Project Scratch Database
