ModellingWizardPlugin

This is a Plugin for the AutomationML Editor. It is able to create new AML Devices and Interfaces and save them as AMLX Package. It can also import IODD and GSDML Files using Converters

This project was developed as a student project at the Cooperative State University (DHBW) in Stuttgart under supervision of Markus Rentschler by the following student team in 2018/2019:

• Burkowitz, Steffen
• Löffler, Tobias
• Mayer, Simon
• Joukhadar, Abdulkarim
• Wandel, Simon

Missing Labels and Text

Due to a bug in the window manager of the AMLEditor if you are using the theme "Metro Light" the text and icon will not be visible on startup. To fix this, simply select another theme using "View" > "Change Theme". (See also this issue)

AML Devices Format

The Plugin creates Devices with the following DeviceIdentification InternalElement:

<InternalElement Name="DeviceIdentification" ID="%DEVICEID%">
    <Attribute Name="CommunicationTechnology" AttributeDataType="xs:string" />
    <Attribute Name="VendorName" AttributeDataType="xs:string">
    <Attribute Name="DeviceName" AttributeDataType="xs:string"/>
    <Attribute Name="DeviceFamiliy" AttributeDataType="xs:string"/>
    <Attribute Name="ProductName" AttributeDataType="xs:string"/>
    <Attribute Name="OrderNumber" AttributeDataType="xs:string"/>
    <Attribute Name="ProductText" AttributeDataType="xs:string" />
    <Attribute Name="IPProtection" AttributeDataType="xs:string" />
    <Attribute Name="VendorHompage" AttributeDataType="xs:string" />
    <Attribute Name="HardwareRelease" AttributeDataType="xs:string" />
    <Attribute Name="SoftwareRelease" AttributeDataType="xs:string" />
    <Attribute Name="OperatingTemperatureMin" AttributeDataType="xs:double"/>
    <Attribute Name="OperatingTemperatureMax" AttributeDataType="xs:double"/>
    <Attribute Name="VendorId" AttributeDataType="xs:integer"/>
    <Attribute Name="DeviceId" AttributeDataType="xs:integer"/>
</InternalElement>

If a Device has this InternelElement Attributes, our Plugin will be able to display and modifiy the device.
