Extract text from Logic circuit diagrams (LSC)
To convert LSC circuit diagrams to another format, you need LOGO! Soft Comfort or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Logic Controller Program" file type, you need software like LOGO! Soft Comfort or a similar tool.
The .LSC file extension is primarily used for logic circuit diagrams created by Siemens LOGO! Soft Comfort. These files store the programmable logic controller (PLC) programs, including relay ladder logic and function block diagrams used to automate industrial machinery and smart home systems.
A major disadvantage of the .LSC format is its heavily proprietary nature. It requires specific, licensed Siemens software to open, view, or edit. You cannot preview these files natively in Windows, macOS, or web browsers. Sharing a logic diagram with a manager or a technician who does not have LOGO! Soft Comfort installed is a frustrating process. The files are often encoded in a serialized Java format or specialized XML, making raw text extraction difficult.
Users typically want to convert .LSC files to PDF or JPG to share circuit schematics visually. In some cases, engineers attempt to export the data to XML or CSV for documentation purposes. However, standard online converters completely fail to process .LSC files because they lack the specific Siemens rendering engine required to draw the logic blocks. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the visual diagram data. Our analysis can inspect the internal content and show underlying text. If your .LSC file happens to be one of the alternative formats - like a JSON-based barcode label design from Label LIVE, an AR component from Snap Lens Studio, or a LightWave 3D file - viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LSC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ISC, PKG, PNG, INDD, PDF, DTA, ICS, TXT, LLD, SVB and DDS files.
If you want to convert LSC file to DDS, INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11 or OMP, you can use LOGO! Soft Comfort or similar software from the "Logic Circuit Diagram" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to LSC, try LOGO! Soft Comfort or another comparable tool in the "Logic Circuit Diagram" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LSC converter.
