Device Manager

Device Manager displays a list of PLC devices used in the project.
Press the button at the bottom of the inspector to display the Device Manager.

Features

Device List

All device names used in the project, page, or selected items are listed.
Tap a device name to see details of where it is used (page, item, field).
Tap a usage entry to jump directly to that item and edit it in the object settings.

Scope Selection

Switch the display scope using the segmented control at the top of the screen.

  • Selection
    Display only devices used in currently selected items
  • Page
    Display only devices used in the current page
  • Project
    Display all devices used in the entire project

Search

You can search for device names using the search field.
Prefix matching filters device names that start with the entered text.

Device Replace Wizard

Tap the button at the top of the screen to open the Device Replace Wizard.
You can batch-change device name prefixes or replace multiple devices at once.
Changes can be previewed before applying, allowing safe batch modifications.

Device Manager

YAML Export/Import

Device Manager supports exporting and importing device lists in YAML format. This allows bulk editing of device assignments using a text editor or AI tools.

Export

Tap the share button to export the current device list as a YAML file. The export scope follows the current view scope (Selection, Page, or Project).

Import

Tap the import button to load a YAML file and update device assignments in the project. Device names and titles are overwritten for existing items that match by UUID. Entries with non-matching UUIDs are skipped, so new items cannot be added through this import. If you need to add items, use YAML Project Format import instead. The number of updated items is displayed after import.

YAML Format

The exported YAML has the following structure: 

# Device List - ProjectName

items:
  # Page 1
  - item_uuid: "C1325E46-..."
    page: "Page 1"
    item: Button
    title: Start
    alternate_title: ""
    devices:
      - field: device
        device: D100
      - field: switch
        device: M0
      - field: lamp
        device: M0
      - field: visible
        device: ""
      - field: interlock
        device: ""

  • Use AI to generate device assignments from a specification document, then import the YAML
  • Export as a reference for reviewing device usage across the project
