Opening an SMART File

The SMART file type is primarily associated with SH3.R02.

SMART	File extension: SMART
	File type:	PLC program file

What is an SMART file?

SMART files mostly belong to SH3.R02. Your SMART file is a specialized PLC program file used in industrial control systems.
This file holds the control instructions that a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) uses to operate machinery and manage processes. It is formatted in a proprietary binary way which means it is not meant to be edited in a standard text editor.
Key details as outlined by FilExt.com:

Purpose: Stores ladder logic or control commands for a PLC.

Primary use: Typically used with systems from SH3.R02, though it is also recognized as a Delta PLC program file by Delta PLC Soft.

Format: It is an internal file format, made to run on its designated hardware.

Opening and Viewing:

Use the specific PLC programming software (for example, SH3.R02 or Delta PLC Soft) to load and work with the file.

Tips:

Always make a backup before editing.

Ensure the software version matches your file.

FilExt.com note: Few people know that these files might include hidden device-specific settings and that their structure can change with different software versions.

How to open SMART files

You need a suitable software like SH3.R02 to open an SMART file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SMART file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SMART file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

SMART file format details:

To find out what program is needed to open SMART files, you need to determine the file format. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the SMART files looks like this:

As a file extension, SMART isn't very common and predominantly uses a uniform format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

• 90% of all SMART files start with the magic bytes SH3, which are always the first bytes of this file format. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The file size is in the range of 7 KB to 53 KB. The file type was developed only in the last few years. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. R02.04.00.00. The file name - 1.smart is characteristic of these files. These files can be linked to program and machine.
• 7% of all SMART files use the same file format, which have the signature DEM. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are on average 9 KB in size and range from 7 KB to 32 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: R02.00.00.00 and R02.01.00.00.

All other SMART files (3%) have different formats. You can get all the details of your SMART file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .smart file to analyze" above.
