When you are ready to publish your library, it is a good idea to place it under the one or several categories in the library repository. Later, it helps you and other developers to find your library among the others at the local repository.
But there are no any official category lists – at least, I have not found any others one.
We can extract one or two (maybe more) categories from the one precisely selected library from the local storage at
x:\TwinCAT\3.1\Components\Plc\Managed Libraries. But we should choose carefuly because that source library should contain required categories. Or we can load category list from the "Description File" with *.libcat.xml extension. But (once more) I can’t find this description file – anywhere on local system or in the internet.

Then, I have made this category list myself.
I uploaded this unofficial list on GitHub. You can download latest version from beckhoff-tc31.libcat.xml or you can clone the whole project Tc_LibcatXml to your laptop or to your github repository or to any other place and finally make your library more shiny.
