Q&A Time! How can I access a Byte inside A Word, symbolically?

If working with protocols such as Modbus, or hardware like Variable Speed Drives, it's common to come up against needing to extract part of some data, a Byte from a Word or a Word from a DWord.

TIA Portal can do this directly, and easily, but it's not very commonly known and TIA doesn't make it very obvious either!

Latest Tip

Commissioning often requires simultaneous visibili Commissioning often requires simultaneous visibility of logic, status bits, and diagnostics.

If the editor area is compressed, engineers rely on scrolling instead of observation. This increases the chance of overlooking conditions or transitions.

By floating diagnostics and collapsing unused panels, the logic regains priority on screen. The information that matters most becomes immediately visible.

The result is not just comfort. It is reduced cognitive load and faster, safer decision-making during live system work.
