UDT Optimizer

UDT Optimizer is a Flask-based application designed to optimize and clean Allen-Bradley .l5x User-Defined Type (UDT) files. The app provides a simple web interface where users can upload .l5x files, process them to improve structure or remove redundancies, and download the optimized version with an appropriate filename.

Features

• Upload .l5x files via drag-and-drop or file browser.
• Supports all case variations of the .l5x file extension.
• Extracts and optimizes UDT definitions inside the .l5x file.
• Generates a clean, optimized .l5x file for download.
• Returns the optimized file with a filename prefixed by Optimized_ and includes the UDT name.
• Runs as a portable executable for easy distribution without requiring a Python environment.

How It Works

1. User uploads a .l5x file through the web interface.
2. The Flask backend extracts the UDT definition using extract_udt_definition.
3. The UDT is optimized and regenerated with optimize_and_regenerate_udt.
4. The optimized .l5x content is returned to the user as a downloadable file.

Note

This code is one part of the bigger project called LLM4ICS & LLM4L5X that is still a work in progress.

Todo

• Option to upload entire Program for optimization. (L5X_TagOptimizer - this will cover UDT tags, global tags, Local tags optimization)
• Enhance UDT optimization algorithms.
• Integrate with other LLM4ICS modules.
