Import PlcOpen-export from IndraWorks Engineering into ctrlX PLC Engineering

Is there a possibilty to import PLC-code from Indraworks into ctrlX PLC Engineering?
I expected something under right mouse button click...
PS: the file I want to export is generated in IndraWorks Engineering with right mouse button click and then "Export/PlcOpen"

There is a better solution, than using PLC Open XML format. Why?

  • Some code is changed and must be reworked after import
  • CoDeSys Visu, can't be exported/imported.

I use the following steps:

  • Unzip the IW project (e.g. myProject.xiwp)
  • With ctrlX Plc Engineering open <ProjectName>\Project\IndraLogic\IndraLogic.project e.g. myProject\Project\IndraLogic\IndraLogic.project
  • This project has the old libraries of IndraWorks, which means it can't be compiled and visu is not displayed correct.
  • To update the libraries the easiest way is:
  • Open a 2nd instance of Plc Engineering
  • Create a new project (this has the libraries of ctrlX)
  • Add the missing ctrlX libraries
  • With drag & drop copy the program and visu from the converted project into the new project.
