Documentation

Can you provide some sort of condensed down documentation as to how to do things like access, create, export, import PLCs, HMIs, and various hardware components, because it is hard to navigate any of the code?

@troybaxter99 I'm sorry that you find the code difficult to navigate. I'm currently no longer working on this project because this was part of my thesis for my study. I'm no longer in possession of TIA licenses or other software related to this project. If you have any questions about the code I'm happy to help but as said earlier am no longer capable of developing or improving the functionality.

Regarding the functionality you mention I'm not quite sure if that is even implemented in the current codebase. As this code was mostly used for automating the coding part and block creating of TIA. If you wish to extend the code base with this functionality I would advise you to have a look at my repo with the TIA Portal stub files for python. Repo

You need to use this function. If you want the name to be set by the software you need to use the labels as defined in the function. Name of the block will be set in the XML by replacing __NAME__ with the actual name. And by defining the labels parameter of the function you can add more replaceable options in the XML
