I/O list to PLCCreator.
Convert a Tagsight I/O list into a PLCCreator Device IO List CSV. One row per signal, with the device address, signal type, and engineering range filled in the format PLCCreator expects for import into the project tree.
What PLCCreator expects.
PLCCreator is a third-party PLC project-scaffolding tool that consumes a structured Device IO List CSV and emits the project skeleton for several PLC platforms. Tagsight produces that CSV directly from the I/O list.

How the columns map.
Every I/O list column has a PLCCreator destination. Auto-mapped fields derive from signal class; derived fields combine address components into the format PLCCreator expects.
