What it does

cds-text-sync automates text synchronization for industrial automation projects by exporting CODESYS projects to ST files, allowing editing with modern tools or LLMs, and syncing changes back.

Install / run

pip install cds-text-sync

When to use it

•You're working on an industrial automation project using CODESYS and need to collaborate with team members on code changes.
•You want to leverage modern text editing tools or Large Language Models (LLMs) to edit your CODESYS project files.
•You're looking for a Git-friendly way to manage and version control your CODESYS project's text-based files.

Quick start

1Export your CODESYS project to ST files using the `cds-text-sync export` command.
2Edit the exported ST files using your preferred text editor or LLM.
3Configure the `cds-text-sync.yml` file to specify the project structure and sync settings.
4Run `cds-text-sync sync` to synchronize the edited ST files back to your CODESYS project.
5Use `cds-text-sync --help` to explore additional options and features.

Ready-to-paste prompt

cds-text-sync export --project-path=/path/to/your/project --output-path=/path/to/exported/files

Heads up: Make sure you have Python and the required dependencies installed, and that your CODESYS project is properly configured and accessible, as cds-text-sync relies on specific project structures and file formats.
