Import Routine
Bring in routines from Studio .L5X exports — one at a time on Free, in bulk on Pro.
Features
Everything Logic Weaver Does Today
Grouped the way a project moves through it. Every item shows its plan; AI items use credits; preview items are Max features.
Weaver · Explorer / Project Manager
Bring it in
Start from the logic you already have, or from a template.
Pro
Create New Routine
Start a routine from a template, build I/O mapping from your cards (one rung per point), or describe what you need and the AI writes it for your review. A template with no instructions builds instantly and uses no AI credits.
Pro
Import Project
Bring in a whole project with its local I/O. A preview lists anything that will be skipped before you commit.
Free
New Project and Template Routines
Start a project with the standard Studio folders and ready-made Template Routines. Up to 3 projects on Free, unlimited on Pro.
Free
I/O Configuration
Create the I/O assignment with the Logic Weaver wizard, and every Local:N:C/I/O tag and status point is created for you.
Max · AI
Import from Screenshot
Paste a screenshot of the Studio I/O tree and get a fully tagged backplane.
Free
Copy and duplicate
Copy a program from another project, or duplicate a whole project to try a change safely.
Free
Import tags from Studio
Import a tag CSV exported from Studio into the Tag Manager.
Weaver · Tag Manager
Find your way around
Read inherited logic quickly, and ask about it in plain English.
Free
Ladder Viewer and Controller Organizer
Studio-style rendering of rungs, branches and instruction boxes, with search, Go To Rung and the familiar project tree.
Free
Tag Manager
Browse, search and edit the tag database, with a Tag Change History of every edit.
Pro
Tag cross-reference
Click any tag to see every routine and rung that uses it, and jump straight there.
Pro · Desktop
Split view
Up to six routines side by side.
Pro · AI
Ask a Question
Plain-English answers about the routine on screen, or the whole program's saved logic.
Pro · AI
Reference Info
Give the AI whole-project context: pin routines, AOIs and data types it should know about.
FreePro · AI
Help Guide and Weaver Help
The full Help Guide on every plan; on Pro, Weaver Help answers questions about the app itself.
Weaver · Edit mode
Change it by hand
Doing the work yourself is free — hand editing is on every plan.
Free
Ladder editing
Routines open read-only until you choose Edit. The Instruction Toolbar follows Studio's order, with a searchable Tag Picker and undo.
Free
Configuration dialogs
Purpose-built dialogs for PID, GSV/SSV (with a CIP help panel), ALMD/ALMA, JSR, LIMIT, MEQ and CMP.
Free · Desktop
Drag and drop
Move instructions and rungs with the mouse.
Free
Save as a revision
Every save creates a named, timestamped revision you can go back to.
Max · preview
Function Block (FBD) viewing & editing
Open and edit Function Block routines — a Max preview.
Weaver · Chat
Change it with AI
Ask for logic. Weaver creates it. You approve every rung.
Pro · AI
Pro Programmer
Describe the change; the AI proposes ladder edits that you review before anything is saved.
Max · AI
Expert Programmer
The newest AI models first, for complex multi-rung work.
Pro · AI
Design Decisions
Where your request leaves a real choice open — restart after a fault, latching or auto-reset — the plan offers it with a Suggested answer you can change.
Pro · AI
Test-drive and Behavior checks
Every AI edit is run in the simulator, and graded against plain statements of what the change should do.
Pro · AI
Changes Viewer
New rungs in green, removed in red, edited rungs with the original above. Accept or discard each one.
Pro · AI
Your own AOIs and data types
The AI uses your project's Add-On Instructions and data types by name, and AOI call arguments are checked before you accept.
Pro · AIMax · CSV
Images, voice and CSV in chat
Attach images and dictate by voice (desktop) on Pro; attach CSV files on Max.
Weaver · Asset Manager
AOIs and data types
Build, reuse and share your own instruction library.
Free
Use and edit AOIs and UDTs
Place Add-On Instructions and edit their logic and your data types by hand.
Pro · AI
AOI and UDT Creator
Have the AI generate or edit Add-On Instructions and data types.
Max
Asset Manager library
Keep a library of AOIs and UDTs and sync them into your projects.
Weaver · Simulate mode
Prove it
Run the logic with no controller, from one routine to the whole project.
Free
Simulate Routine
Toggle and force inputs, step the scan, change speed, and watch power flow through the rungs.
Pro
Simulate Program
The main routine and every JSR it calls, in one scan.
Max
Simulate Project
The whole controller: continuous, periodic and event tasks on their own schedules.
Pro · AI
Ask while it runs
Questions carry the simulation's live values ("Using: Simulation values").
Max · preview
Event recording and live trending
Record tags while the simulation runs and watch them in Record Weaver's trend.
Max · AI · preview
Ask about a recording
Send a recording into the chat and ask what happened: which interlock dropped out first, why the pump tripped, or how to tune a PID loop. Answers name the tag, the time and the rung, and tuning advice quotes the loop's measured response — overshoot, rise time and settling.
See the simulation page for the test bench, Pre-Flight warnings, PID loops and alarms.
Project Manager · Revision History
Hand it back
Take your work back to Studio to verify and download.
Pro
Export routines and programs
Export a routine at any revision, or a whole program.
Max
Export Project
Export a whole imported project.
Pro
Checked before every export
If Studio would reject the file, the export refuses and tells you why.
Pro
Fix Studio Import Error
Paste Studio's import error and get a repaired routine. Known errors are fixed from a built-in catalog with no AI; anything else goes to AI repair.
Pro
Pending-export tracking
Changed routines stay marked until they're exported, so no fix gets stranded.
In Studio: File → Open or Import, then Verify, then download.
Journal
Document it
Reports and a record of what changed, kept with the project.
Pro · AI
Create a Report
Tag-usage reports, I/O lists and logic summaries, saved to the project and exported to Markdown, text, Word or PDF.
ProMax
Project Journal
Journal reports on Pro; Design Notes, the Change Log and recordings on Max.
Share Console
Work as a team
Shared projects without stepping on each other's edits.
Max
Share projects
The owner needs Max; the people they share with can be on any plan. Revoking takes effect immediately, and shared access lapses after 30 days of inactivity.
Max
Routine locking
Opening a routine locks it to you. Others can Request Control; owners can Force Unlock.
Data Weaver · Live
Go online on the bench
Connect & control a real PLC on your own bench through Data Weaver for Windows.
Live Control is not to be used on production equipment. Bench test only!
Max
Live monitoring
See the controller's own values on the rungs. It starts only after the controller name and program list match the project.
Max
Live Control
Write values for bench tests and FAT — never on an installed machine or running process. Every write is recorded in the Live PLC record.
Max · AI
Live querying
Ask questions that use the controller's live values.
Data Weaver runs on Windows 10/11 (macOS coming soon), installs per user without admin rights, and accepts only local connections. Live isn't available on phones. Not a safety device.
Anywhere
On your phone or tablet
Almost all of the Workstation works on a phone or tablet.
Free
The workspace on a phone or tablet
Explorer, Chat, Ladder, Changes, Simulate and the Tag Manager, with press-and-hold menus and a bottom navigation bar.
Pro
Export from a phone or tablet
Send an exported routine to Google Drive, OneDrive or Files through the share sheet.
Not on phones: Live Testing, voice dictation, drag and drop, and split view.
Try it on your own logic.
Import a routine on the Free plan and run it in the simulator today.
