AI for PLC programming with Studio 5000

Pasting a rung into a chat window gives an AI model one rung and no context. A Logix project has thousands of tags, many programs, Add-On Instructions and UDTs, and the answer to most questions is spread across them.

Orbis puts the AI agent next to the whole project instead.

  1. Open the project. Orbis reads your .L5X or .ACD file on your PC. See Open a project.
  2. Ask in plain words. The agent reads the real project with Orbis tools and answers with the rungs and tags it used, drawn as ladder. See Ask the agent.
  3. Let it edit a working copy. The agent changes a copy, never your file. You can make the same kind of edit by hand.
  4. Review before it goes back. Every change shows as ladder, rung by rung, next to the original, with Revert and Mark reviewed. See Review changes.
  5. Export to Studio 5000.

An AI agent can be wrong. Orbis does not ask you to trust it: each answer points to the rungs it came from, and each edit is a diff you read the way you read a Studio 5000 Compare report.
