Free Windows tool
TIA Portal XML Exporter
Export Siemens PLC blocks and complete projects to XML. Create one-block XML files or a complete project ZIP for conversion.
Siemens TIA Portal → Rockwell Studio 5000
Convert Siemens PLC logic and data to Rockwell
Export from TIA Portal, upload your XML or ZIP, and get Rockwell L5X files to review and import.
Both online converters are currently free. Engineering review required.
PLC logicFree

Prepare your XML export
Export one Siemens block as XML with our TIA XML Exporter or another compatible XML exporter.
Upload your block
Open the PLC Logic Converter and upload your single XML block.
Download and verify
Follow the app instructions, download the package, and read the programmer report. Review and test the L5X in Studio 5000.

Prepare your ZIP export
Export the full project with our TIA XML Exporter, which creates the ZIP automatically. Only ZIPs from our Exporter are supported.
Upload your project ZIP
Open the Data Structures Converter and upload the complete ZIP.
Download and verify
Follow the app instructions, download the package, and read the reports. Review and test the Tags and Data Types in Studio 5000.
Engineering review required. Generated files are conversion aids, not approved machine logic. Qualified automation personnel must review and test every result before use.

Common questions
What is the difference between the two converters?
The PLC Logic Converter converts the Siemens code from one OB, FB, or FC into a Rockwell Studio 5000 L5X file. The Data Structures Converter processes a complete Siemens project export created with the ConvertAutomation TIA XML Exporter. It rebuilds the project data structure—including Tag Tables, PLC Data Types, UDTs, and global DBs—as Rockwell Data Types and Controller Tags, delivered in importable L5X files.
Is a Siemens TIA Portal XML export required?
Yes. Both converters require files exported from Siemens TIA Portal in XML format. For a single PLC logic block, you may use any compatible XML export tool. For data-structure conversion, the complete ZIP must be created with the ConvertAutomation TIA XML Exporter.
Do these converters replace a PLC programmer?
No. These tools are designed to assist qualified automation professionals, not replace their expertise or engineering judgment. They simplify repetitive conversion work and help reduce manual transcription errors. Every generated result must still be reviewed, tested, validated, and approved by a qualified PLC programmer before use.
