PLC-Inspector showing the memory view of a Siemens LOGO!
Write access

Set a value, see the effect at once

Write a holding register straight from the memory view and watch in the same window how the controller reacts. Changes are highlighted while they happen.

Because writing moves real machinery, it takes two steps on purpose: switch on write mode, check the value, confirm. If you are commissioning for hours, turn the prompt off for the session. It is back the next time you open the view.

Pro Writing is the Pro function. Reading, watching and analysing stay free.

  1. Switch on write mode

    It has to be enabled deliberately and lapses on its own when you leave the view.

  2. Enter the value

    Decimal or hexadecimal. The preview shows both notations and the bit pattern.

  3. Confirm

    The app checks what the PLC mirrors back and reports separately if the confirmation does not match the order.

The write dialog: register VW6 with the new value and a preview in decimal, hexadecimal and bits
Features

Powerful Features

Everything you need to monitor and debug your Siemens LOGO! PLC controllers.

Real-time Monitoring

Auto-refresh from 0.5 to 10 seconds, without requests piling up. You can watch a controller while it works.

Change Detection

Changed registers are highlighted in orange, counted, and you can jump between them with the arrow keys.

Multi-Station Support

Manage multiple PLC stations with custom names and easily switch between them.

LOGO! 8 Support

Full support for Siemens LOGO! 8 (0BA8) over Modbus/TCP. Earlier LOGO! generations have no Modbus interface.

Reliability

Trustworthy when it counts

A diagnostic tool is only worth something if you can rely on what it shows.

Error message in plain language: the app explains a timeout and suggests what to check

Complete responses, even for large reads

Up to 125 registers in one go are reassembled correctly, even when the answer arrives split across several TCP packets.

Every answer is matched to its request

A late response to an earlier request can never appear as a current value. In a diagnostic tool that is the worst possible error.

Errors in plain language

Modbus exceptions and connection problems are explained in words instead of an error number.

One connection per station, strictly serialised

A LOGO! tolerates only a single TCP connection. The app respects that and queues its requests.
