Analyze an L5X file with AI

An .L5X file is the XML export of a Studio 5000 project. On a large project, reading it by hand means searching a very long file for the one rung you need. Orbis opens it and lets an AI agent search it for you.

  1. Install Orbis. See Install Orbis.
  2. Open the .L5X file, or an .ACD file. Orbis builds the project tree, tag tables and routines from it. See Open a project.
  3. Ask a question in the chat.

These examples come from the sample project in the demo on the home page, a fictional filling line:

  • Where is P_101.Req set?
  • Request it only while the filler runs. (a change request, which the agent applies to a working copy)

An answer lists the rungs and tags the agent read, draws the relevant rung as ladder, and links to it in the editor.

For questions, an answer you can verify against the rung. For changes, a diff drawn as ladder that you review before exporting. See Review changes.
