With the TwinCAT ECAD Import software library, existing engineering results can be retrieved from an ECAD program. Information about the structure of I/Os and the linkages to PLC variables, which can be exported by XML, can be read-in by the ECAD Import Tools. A system manager configuration and a basic PLC program with I/O variables in use is created from the read-in XML file. In the same way, it is also possible to automatically generate an NC device, with tasks, axes, I/O variables and links with PLC variables.
