Bridge the PLC-to-SCADA Gap
Bidirectional conversion between Allen-Bradley L5X and Ignition JSON UDT formats. Configure OPC paths, map data types automatically, and save conversion settings for reuse across projects. Bridge the PLC-to-SCADA gap without a spreadsheet in between.
How It Works
Upload
Upload source UDT file (L5X or JSON)
Configure
Configure mapping and OPC paths
Convert
Download converted UDT in target format
Built for engineers like you
Integrating a Rockwell PLC project with an Ignition gateway, 30 UDTs need conversion
Upload L5X, convert all UDTs to Ignition JSON in one operation, configure OPC paths per type.
Maintaining conversion consistency across a multi-site rollout with same PLC UDTs but different Ignition projects
Convert once, save configuration, reuse across all sites.
Manually converting UDT structures between Rockwell and Ignition formats.
What PLCflow Does
- Upload source UDT file (L5X or JSON)
- Configure mapping and OPC paths
- Download converted UDT in target format
Before & After
See the difference PLCflow makes on a real project.
- Export UDT from Studio 5000, open in text editor
- Manually map each member to Ignition data types
- Build JSON structure by hand, debug OPC path mismatches
- Repeat for every UDT, no reusable configuration
- Upload L5X file containing UDT definitions
- Configure OPC paths and data type mappings
- Download Ignition-ready JSON
- Save conversion settings for reuse across projects
Engineered for Complexity
Purpose-built capabilities for industrial-scale projects.
Bidirectional Conversion
Convert from L5X to Ignition JSON or JSON back to L5X - full round-trip support.
OPC Path Configuration
Automatically map and configure OPC item paths for seamless PLC-to-SCADA connectivity.
Data Type Mapping
Intelligent mapping between Rockwell and Ignition data types with automatic resolution.
Reusable Presets
Save conversion settings and OPC configurations for reuse across multiple projects.
