IEA Generator — Part of the YuNiKu PCS7 Engineering Toolkit

Generate PCS 7 IEA Files From Reusable Templates

Build Process Tags from Process Tag Type templates in the Library, then generate ready-to-use IEA exports — no manual re-entry, no inconsistent connector values.

What it solves

From a template library to generated IEA files

Creating PCS 7 IEA files by hand means re-entering the same Process Tag data over and over, and hoping every connector value stays consistent across a growing project. The IEA Generator turns that around: you maintain a Library of Process Tag Type templates, instantiate Process Tags from them, and let the generator produce the IEA export.

Because every Process Tag keeps a live link back to its source template, the data that lands in your IEA files stays predictable — and stays consistent as the project scales.

Tags bound to templates

A Workspace that mirrors your project

Organize Projects and Folders in a Workspace tree, then add Process Tags bound to their templates. Each tag exposes exactly the connector properties its template defines, so the engineering data feeding the IEA Generator is structured, not free-form.

From Workspace to file

One click to generate, one file to import

Once your Process Tags are in place, hit Generate. YuNiKu builds the IEA export straight from your Workspace and downloads it as a ready-to-use zip — no manual re-entry, no reformatting, no risk of a mistyped connector value.

Every generated IEA file is a plain, inspectable text table

No black box. The downloaded zip contains a real, readable IEA export — open it straight in Excel and see every tag, connector, and property the generator wrote.

How it works

Five steps to a generated IEA export

01

Start from the Library

Pick the Process Tag Type templates your IEA export needs — each one defines the connectors and properties every tag will carry.

02

Build your Workspace

Create a Project and organize it with Folders so the structure feeding the generator matches your real engineering hierarchy.

03

Add Process Tags

Instantiate tags from a template — each keeps a live link back to its source, so IEA output stays consistent with the template.

04

Fill in the details

Edit each tag's connector properties directly — names, comments, and every value the template exposes for the IEA file.

05

Generate the IEA files

Download a ready-to-use IEA export as a zip — generated straight from your Workspace, no manual re-entry of tag data. Going the other way? Restore from IEA →

Safe regeneration

Regenerate after a template change — safely

A code generator that silently rewrites your engineering data is a liability. When a Process Tag Type changes, YuNiKu shows exactly what's different — connector by connector, property by property — and separates critical, warning, and informational changes before anything is applied. You regenerate IEA files knowing precisely what the template update did to existing tags.
