Exporting Types to IEC 61131-10 XML

PLCnext Engineer allows you to export program/function/function block POUs, data types, and global variables to IEC 61131-10 XML-compliant files. You can either export a single POU or data type worksheet via context menu or the full project via the 'File > Export > Export IEC 61131-10' command.
