MTICP

MTI Code Processor (mticp) is a command-line tool for compiling and converting MTI Skipper Sheet projects into IEC 61131-3 compatible formats such as Structured Text (ST), Ladder Logic (LD), and XML. This Node.js wrapper allows mticp to be used in JavaScript-based workflows via npm.

🛠️ This package wraps a precompiled C# executable and provides cross-platform support for Node.js environments.

📦 Installation

npm install mticp-npm

This installs the Node.js wrapper along with platform-specific binaries in bin/.

🚀 Usage

You can run mticp via the provided runMticp() function or as a CLI tool:

✅ Node.js API

const { runMticp } = require('mticp-npm');

runMticp([
  'action=toiec',
  'src=/path/to/project.skip',
  'dst=/output/folder'
])
  .then(output => console.log('mticp output:\n', output))
  .catch(err => console.error('mticp error:\n', err));

💻 CLI (Optional)

You can invoke it via CLI if you’ve added it to your scripts:

npx mticp action=toxml src=project.skip dst=output/
