About FCL files

FCL files, or Function Chart Language files, are primarily used in industrial automation and control systems to define the logic for programmable controllers. While these files are integral to certain specialized systems, they are not always user-friendly outside their intended applications. The proprietary nature of FCL files can often make conversion challenging, necessitating specific software tools and a solid understanding of the underlying logic.

When looking to convert FCL files, it's essential to utilize software that can accurately interpret and translate the file's contents. One such tool is PLCnext Technology by Phoenix Contact, which supports FCL files. However, for those needing to convert FCL files to more accessible formats such as PDF or DOCX for documentation purposes, using development environments like CODESYS may be required.

Despite these options, converting FCL files is not straightforward. Critical factors include maintaining the integrity of the original logic and ensuring compatibility with new systems. Conversion can sometimes lead to loss of information or errors if not handled with precision. Additionally, the limited availability of conversion tools can be a significant drawback for users needing flexibility.

Given these challenges, it's often simpler to use a dedicated conversion service. For a seamless experience, you can drag and drop your FCL files onto the Convert.Guru website. Convert.Guru excels at converting FCL files into a variety of formats, ensuring accuracy and ease of use without the complexities typically involved with FCL conversions. Though FCL files might be best suited for specific industrial applications, Convert.Guru offers a user-friendly solution for converting these files into more versatile formats such as TXT, XML, CSV, and others.


The FCL Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best FCL converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
