Exploring
In evaluation — subject to change
Multi-vendor PLC support
Extend beyond Siemens TIA Portal to a second PLC platform — starting with CODESYS 3.5 — through a vendor-neutral abstraction. The existing TIA integration stays intact; CODESYS runs alongside as a parallel path. MVP scope: project open/close, block export/import via PLCopenXML, compile, download.
