PLC functional description generator
ACE Codex turns ladder and FBD into a readable Functional Description — If / And / Then you can hand to a client. Formerly ACE Suite.
Rockwell L5X to FD
Load a Studio 5000 .L5X on ACE Codex Online, then open the FD Generator. Patterns are seeded. The tool parses rungs into human-readable steps and can include bingo / matrix arrays where the routine uses them.
Schneider Control Expert FD
The Schneider FD Generator reads Control Expert .XBD networks (with .ZEF / .XEF for the same load) and maps blocks through schneider_patterns.xml.
Export Excel or PDF
Export selected programs or routines to Excel or PDF. Treat the generated FD as a base — you may need to edit it so it truly matches the code.
Note. ACE has worked to represent the PLC code as accurately as possible. Use generated Functional Descriptions and Grafcet as a base — you may need to edit them so they truly match the code.
