MicroWin has this option for monitoring symbols online (screenshot attached) but I don't see this option in TIA. Attachment Capture.JPG (534 Downloads)

I use several watch tables specific to looking at certain portions of the logic. Say I'm looking at a drive interface, I'll add tags related to controls and feedback for the drive. For a torque sensor, I'll look at the various controls and feedback for the sensor. For interface with a PC, I'll show all the to/from tags associated with that system (modbus/tcp). For RS485, I'll put in quite a bit including the inbound and outbound buffers so I can see what's happening to slow it down to human terms. Hope this is useful.

My question is can the change of tag values be represented in time like on oscilloscope? MicroWin for S7-20 had this function, can't find anything in the manuals for TIA so I thought cheking here on forum.

Sounds like you are talking about a TIA portal pro option, but I do not have that software so hope someone else can help.

It would be nice having that option in TIA Basic also. Maybe in later versions.

Maybe they will have basic with add-on options or maybe an intermediate versionfor the s7-1200 family. I am glad they keep the cost down on the basic version and give you the tools you "need", and omit the tools you "want".
