Read-only analysis of Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC PLC projects saved by GX Works3 (.gx3): trace why a coil never turns on through the ladder logic, find where a device is written and read, search by device comment, and separate conditions that arrive from physical inputs, HMI or network communication. Runs entirely locally and never modifies the project; no project-mutating command is exposed. Unofficial, not affiliated with Mitsubishi Electric.
Free, private remote MCP server for managing 3D printers. View live status and webcam snapshots, control printers, debug issues, and diagnose errors across OctoPrint, Klipper, Bambu Lab, Elegoo, Prusa, Creality, PrusaLink, and more.
