Application to read/watch/write PLC data, supporting Modbus and S7 PLC's

plcmonitor's Issues

Allow formatting of value(s)

Values are currently ToString()-ed. Should permit formatting of values while also using the same format when writing values.

Fix file modified indicator

Currently only triggers on some top level actions, should properly detect changes through all groups.

Allow file open using command line arguments

Add setting to disable acrylic background

For remote access, will result in snappier experience.

Provide timeout in PLC connection configuration

Allow timeout to be configured when adding a new PLC.

Block file open/save when dialog open

Currently menu has IsHitTestVisible false, but shortcut keys still work.

Allow editing of PLC configuration details

Permit editing of PLC configuration details, disconnect if connection is open

Support watch of group

Support watching a group's variables for changes.

Add option to read after write

Add checkbox to write dialog to allow reading data after writing.

Variable selection persists in ViewModel, not in View

The GroupViewModel retains variable selection, but the View doesn't keep the selection when switching to different PLC's/groups. Pressing Write will thus result in incorrect variables (even duplicates) showing up.

Always check connection during 'Add PLC'

Remove the test connection button, instead always perform the connection test (possibly with low timeout) and ask user if he still wants to add if connection failed.

Save not available after saving new file

Allow PLC connection to be closed

Change group rename interaction

Currently renaming a group happens on the fly, there's no cancel and there's no finish. Could use a similar approach as DataGridTextColumn or the dialog.

Close PLC connections on unload of project / delete of PLC

Prevent file corruption on write errors

Currently serialization happens directly to the output file. If somewhere along the line the serialization fails the output file is corrupted.

Show address format hint on address edit (S7)

Add ability to duplicate variable

Allow group deletion

Allow reordering, regrouping of variables

Preferably using drag and drop.

Prevent value reset on non-value related variable edits

Currently variable value resets on any change, even name or cancel edit.
