Export PLCopen XML

Use the Export PLCopen XML command to export an operation to the PLCopen XML format. You can then import the file to a PLC engineering tool, transfer it to a PLC, and run it in a closed-loop simulation with the Mechatronics Concept Designer model.

This is the key bridge between Mechatronics Concept Designer's operation-based logic (time-based/event-based operations, conditions, and the Sequence Editor) and external PLC engineering tools such as SIMATIC STEP7 / TIA Portal, enabling virtual commissioning workflows.
