In this talk, we report on our general experiences in migrating an industrial automation tool to the Cloud using Eclipse technologies. We provide details on the used components such as LSP, GLSP or Theia and discuss the architectural considerations which were required to achieve our goal of developing a Cloud-based IDE. Last but not least, we will give plenty of live demos to demonstrate several aspects of the migration.

At logi.cals GmbH, we began our journey towards a Cloud IDE with logi.CAD3, a commercial, Eclipse-based engineering tool for industrial automation that enables users to conveniently develop industrial automation applications for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Alongside many other functionalities, logi.CAD3 provides feature-rich editing support for the programming languages defined in the IEC 61131-3 standard. This industry norm not only includes textual programming languages, such as Structured Text (ST), but also graphical languages, such as Function Block Diagrams (FBD).
