This class allows creation and modification of l5x Routine (Ladder Diagram).
XML data is stored in variablename.l5xdata (XMLDocument format).
Example 1:
Creating an empty l5x Routine with default parameters:
const myRoutineLD = new kSDKv1.l5xRoutineLD();
New Routine is a complete (though empty) l5x RoutineLD that can be modified with methods (see below) or it can be immediately transformed into an l5x file (see "saveToFile()" method below) and imported into Studio5000 software.
Example 2:
Creating a Routine from custom XML (this will overwrite all default parameters):
const myNewCustomRtn = new kSDKv1.l5xRoutineLD(`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<RSLogix5000Content SomeParam="1.0" SomeOtherParam = "2.0">
<Controller Use="Context" Name="Kiptr" SomeParam="1.0" SomeOtherParam ="2.0">
<Programs>
<Program>
<Routines>
<Routine Use="Target" Name="Kiptr_LAD" Type="RLL">
<CustomXML/>
</Routine>
</Routines>
</Program>
</Programs>
</Controller>
</RSLogix5000Content>
`);It is important to inject XML with the Routine attribute "Use" = "Target". An error is generated if this condition is not satisfied.
