README

sylo-allen-bradley

Sylo package: Studio 5000 Logix Designer SDK wrapper — controller upload/download and .acd↔L5X export/import (allen_bradley_sdk_* tools). The SDK itself is not bundled and cannot be redistributed — it ships with the licensed Studio 5000 v36+ installation (Windows, Python 3.12 only) and requires a valid Studio 5000 license.

Split out of the old monolith on 2026-09-09:

  • sylo-plc-comms — CIP/OPC UA tag tools (plc_comms_*). No SDK required.
  • sylo-logicforge — L5X parse/review/IO-scaffold, Parse Rules UI, bundled LogicForge backend, canonical download allowlist.
  • This package — SDK tools only: allen_bradley_sdk_upload_from_plc, allen_bradley_sdk_download_to_plc, allen_bradley_sdk_export_l5x, allen_bradley_sdk_import_l5x.

Logix Designer SDK wheel (not bundled)

The Rockwell-proprietary logix_designer_sdk Python wheel ships with your own licensed Studio 5000 v36+ install. Resolution order (scripts/_sdk_paths.py):

  1. LOGIX_DESIGNER_SDK_WHEEL environment variable — explicit wheel path
  2. LOGIX_DESIGNER_SDK_SITE — unpacked SDK tree
  3. A wheel dropped under packages/sylo-logicforge/vendor/logicforge/ (local only, not committed)
  4. Legacy sibling checkout (~/Documents/GitHub/sylo-allen-bradley/)
  5. LOGICFORGE_SOURCE dev-checkout overlay
  6. Rockwell install locations (C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockwell Software\...)

Without the SDK the package still loads — only the direct .acd operations report that the SDK is missing. Use sylo-plc-comms for live tag reads/writes (no SDK) and sylo-logicforge for L5X parse/IO-scaffold work.

Downloads are allowlist-gated

allen_bradley_sdk_download_to_plc is the only tool that writes to a live controller project. It is hard-gated by the operator-managed allowlist whose canonical file lives in sylo-logicforge (packages/sylo-logicforge/assets/download-allowlist.json) — the agent cannot download to any IP not present and enabled there.
