By creating tools and wizards, it becomes possible to guide the developer and/or user through many of the development and generic tasks associated with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). At the European X-Ray Free Electron Laser Facility (EuXFEL), we have striven to achieve structure and consistency within the PLC framework through the use of C# tools which are embedded into the TwinCAT environment (Visual Studio) as extensions. These tools aid PLC development and deployment, and provide a clean and consistent way to develop, configure and integrate code from the hardware level, to the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. }}, }
