A quick vlog on how to export the Rockwell RSLogix5000 ACD file into L5K and L5X file format. L5K is a nicely paragraphed text file, while the L5X is in XML file format.

L5K stands for RSLogix 5000, while L5X stands for RSLogix 5000 XML. This file can be used to manipulate using any text editor and can even be imported into HMI software like Vijeo Designer.

Reference

How do you import the tags from the RSLogix5000 L5K file in Vijeo Designer using the Link Variables feature?
