Select the entry PLC-Browser in the Resources tab-control. It will be available there if it is activated in the current target settings (category networkfunctionality).

The browser consists of a command entry line and a result/display window.

In a selection box the input line displays a list of all the commands entered since the start of the project (input history). They are available for re-selection until the project is closed. Only commands, which differ from those already existing, are added to the list.

The entered command is sent to the controller with [Enter]. If there is no Online connection, the command is displayed in the result window in the same way as it is sent to the controller, otherwise the response from the controller is shown there. If a new command is sent to the controller, the content of the result window is deleted.

Commands can be entered in the form of command strings, the use of macros is possible as well⮫ “Command entry in the PLC browser”⮫ “Use of macros during the command entry in PLC-browser”.
