PLC project utility

L5K PLC Tag and Routine Explorer

Turn a text-based Logix project export into a searchable tag inventory without sending the file to a server. Start from the built-in motor example or unlock local file and paste intake.

Browser-local project intake

L5K tag and routine explorer

Extract controller, program, routine, base-tag, alias, description, initial-value, and likely field-role metadata. The parser never executes ladder, structured text, Add-On Instructions, or controller code.

A safe built-in example is loaded. Toolkit members can open or paste an L5K export.

Tag inventory

Role suggestions are name-and-description heuristics for review—not proof of PLC behavior.

The preview shows six rows. Toolkit unlocks local file intake, paste, filtering, and the complete CSV inventory.

Project boundary

An L5K export can contain proprietary equipment names, addresses, comments, and control structure. Review company policy before opening one. This client-side parser intentionally does not evaluate rungs, routines, AOIs, safety signatures, forces, online values, cross references, or whether a tag is actually used.

Requires Toolkit or Pro Toolkit
