About Generating PLC Drawings From a Data File

You can generate PLC drawings automatically from a spreadsheet, database, or comma-delimited text file.

The PLC information, including PLC modules and connected components, can be read from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, Access database table, or a comma-delimited text file. A single data file can generate multiple drawings.

You can define the following settings to control how the drawings are generated:

  • Drawing template
  • First drawing name
  • Ladder settings
  • PLC style
  • Placement for in-line components
  • Spreadsheet format

To use these settings each time you run the PLC I/O utility, you can save them to a .wdi file.
