ECAD Bridge Live

Upload a TIA Portal archive — get AML/CAx export ready for EPLAN, WSCAD or AutoCAD Electrical.

My jobs + New export
What you upload

One archive

.ap21
Direct project file (V21)
.zap21
V21 archive — recommended (smallest, single file)
.zap15_1 / .zap14
Older V14/V15 archives — auto-upgraded on open

Max 200 MB. Project must be consistent (compile clean) — inconsistent projects fail at the CAx Export step.

What you get back

AML + transfer log

export.aml
AutomationML XML (CAEX 2.15) — the handoff payload for ECAD tools
transfer_result.json
V19+ TransferResult: status, errors, warnings, messages

Open the .aml in EPLAN / WSCAD / AutoCAD Electrical (CAx Publication Tools V4.0+ compatible).

Why this pillar

The handoff most teams still retype by hand.

PLC HW config → EPLAN

Device list, network topology, IO assignments — pulled into your electrical schematic without retyping.

Two-way roundtrip

Edit AML in ECAD, re-import to TIA. We expose both export and V19+ structured import APIs.

I-Device setup

Need an S7 as a sub-controller? Configure InterfaceOperatingMode + transfer areas via the MCP server first, then export the GSDML in TIA Network View.

MVP — limits: 200 MB max archive, 10 exports / user / 24h. Pruned AML (sub-module strip) is post-processing via standalone CAx Publication Tools V4.0 — not part of this flow.
