The engineering file is the point source

Manual
Offline TIA project scanning only
Mingcedar Scan uses TIA Openness to read PLCs, standard-layout DBs, symbolic paths, optional comments, data types, absolute addresses, and access metadata from the project, then produces a reviewable list.
Scope: Offline TIA project scanning only
Mingcedar Scan reads projects or archives that the local TIA Portal installation can open. It has no PLC IP, OPC UA, or other live-data source.No live PLC connection
The main window does not accept a PLC IP or OPC UA endpoint, read live values, write devices, or perform continuous collection.
A matching TIA environment is required
Run on Windows x64 with .NET Framework 4.8, TIA Portal that can open the project, a running Automation License Manager service, and valid Openness access.
The scan focuses on DB points
Results contain symbolic paths, absolute addresses, and verification status for standard-DB scalar members. Reviewable rows can differ from rows eligible for communication import. I, Q, and M are outside the scan and must be handled separately.
