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.

Which PLC platforms does PLCCreator target?

Siemens S7 family, Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, Beckhoff TwinCAT, and several smaller platforms. The PLCCreator project itself selects the target.

How are engineering ranges formatted?

Min:max pair separated by a colon, units in a separate column. PLCCreator parses both and applies the scaling on import.

Is the BPCS / SIS split preserved?

Yes. The IO Category column tags Standard or Safety per row, and PLCCreator routes safety signals to the safety program automatically.

What if cabinet, slot, channel are not yet assigned?

The Address column stays blank, the row still imports, and the controls team fills in the address inside PLCCreator before generating the project.

How many rows can the export handle?

Tested up to 8000 signals per file. Larger projects export as multiple files split by cabinet.

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.

Drop a P&ID, instrument index, or schedule. Tagsight reads it to the tag and opens a workspace you keep when you sign in.

Column mapping.

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.

#	I/O list column	PLCCreator field	Data type	Mapping	Rule
01	Tag	`Device Name`	string	auto	Tag carried verbatim.
02	Service description	`Description`	string	preserved	Service text carried verbatim with equipment tag prepended when present.
03	Signal class	`Signal Type`	enum	auto	AI/AO/DI/DO mapped to PLCCreator's Analog Input / Analog Output / Digital Input / Digital Output codes.
04	Range	`Engineering Range`	string	preserved	Range carried as a min:max pair separated by colon.
05	Units	`Engineering Units`	string	preserved	Units carried verbatim.
06	Set point	`Set Point`	number	optional	Set point carried when specified in the I/O list.
07	Trip / alarm	`Trip Value`	number	optional	Trip or alarm value carried when specified.
08	Cabinet	`Cabinet`	string	preserved	Marshalling cabinet ID for the device.
09	Card slot / Channel	`Address`	derived	derived	Card slot and channel combined into the PLCCreator address string in the form Cabinet:Slot:Channel.
10	Sub-class (BPCS / SIS)	`IO Category`	enum	optional	BPCS rows take Standard, SIS rows take Safety.
