Siemens Import¶

In the ‘Project’ ‘Siemens Import’ submenu, you will find commands which allow you to import POUs and variables from Siemens STEP5 files. The command “Import from a SEQ symbol file” allows you to import global variables from STEP5 symbol files. Run this command before either the command ‘Import from a S5 project file’ so that readable symbol names can be created when the POUs are imported. These two commands allow you to import POUs from STEP5 program files. When this done, the POUs are inserted into the open CoDeSys project. You can select whether the POUs will remain in the STEP5 IL language or be converted to an IEC language.

We recommend that the CoDeSys project into which you are importing be empty. Of course, you must be certain that the library standard.lib is linked to your project, otherwise you will be unable to import the counter and the timer.
