1 General The SIEMENS LOGO! is one of the most affordable and robust

logical modules around. The logo control system is perfectly

suited for small-scale automation projects and makes life

much easier by replacing many time switches and relays,

counters and protective relays. Engineers, scientists and

technicians can now rapidly and cost-effectively interface

with the logo module, log data, analyze data and monitor

process progress using our LOGO!MONITOR.

1.1 Cheap tool for scientists and engineers

The SIEMENS LOGO! was designed as a micro automation

module for industry for switching and controlling and handles

24 digital en 8 analog inputs. Data acquisition with the

SIEMENS LOGO! has been virtually impossible and therefore

scientists and engineers have been unable to use the Logo!

module for their experimental setups. With our

LOGO!MONITOR software a basic LOGO! module can be

turned into a full-fledged switching, controlling and data

acquiring tool for scientists and engineers. Together with

LOGO!MONITOR the SIEMENS LOGO! beats most of the

commercial solutions with respect to performance, ease of

use and certainly with respect to cost.

1.2 New options for industry Existing and new industrial applications can now be expanded

with a logging, monitoring and visualization functionality

using the LOGO!MONITOR software. The performance of

critical applications can be analyzed using the data gathered

by the LOGO!MONITOR software resulting in increased

productivity and efficiency. LOGO!MONITOR Multi is able to

monitor up to 10 Logo!'s simultaneously. With Logo!Monitor

an affordable WinCC-like solution is available.

System requirements:

Windows 7, Vista, XP

2 Getting started Download a version of Logo!Monitor Multi from

http://logomonitor.quirex.nl and install the program on your

PC. Next connect the Logo! to your computer through the

Ethernet interface. Start Logo!Monitor Multi.

2.1 Step 1: Setting up the Logo!'s Select in the Main Menu Settings>Logo Setup... Now the

Logo! Setup form opens.

Fig. 1: Logo! Setup form

The Logo! setup form shows all Logo!'s that are being

monitored. A new Logo! can be added by clicking on the Add

button. This will open the Add Logo! form.


6 februari 2012

Fig. 2: Add Logo! form

On the Add Logo form the following properties are required:

• Name: Give a descriptive name of the Logo!. E.g.

Logo! 1st floor or Logo! Heating system. Make it

short but descriptive. Required field.

• Ip-address: Ip-address of the Logo!. Required field.

• Port: This is the port at which the Logo!

communicates (reads). It is for all Logo! 0BA7 equal

to 10001. Note: The port can be changed when

connecting to multiple Logo!'s from outside a Lan.

Port forwarding allows remote computers, for

example, computers on the Internet, to connect to a

specific computer or service within a private local

area network (LAN). See Port Forwarding section for

more details. Required field.

• Update interval: Every time interval the values of the

IO of the Logo! is requested bij Logo!Monitor. The

smallest update interval larger than 100. Default

value is 500 milliseconds. Note: A too small update

interval may slow down the program. Required field.

• Description: Here a more elaborate description of the

Logo! can be given. Not required field.


6 februari 2012

7 | Quirex BV

• Make this Logo! writable: When this option is

selected Logo!Monitor is able to write to the variable

memory (VM) of the Logo!. The Logo! circuit program

is able to read from the VM. To communicate with

the Logo! we use the free communication library

“libnodave” (http://libnodave.sourceforge.net/).

With this option checked you can control the whole

memory area of the Logo!. Please be sure what you

are doing. Also we remind you of the warnings of the

libnodave author, that the code of libnodave is still

beta and you assume all responsibility for its use. For

more info see the section 'Controlling the Logo!'.

• Write port: This is the port at which the Logo!

communicates (writes). It is for all Logo! 0BA7 equal

to 102. Note: The port can be changed when

connecting to multiple Logo!'s from outside a Lan.

Port forwarding allows remote computers, for

example, computers on the Internet, to connect to a

specific computer or service within a private local

area network (LAN). See Port Forwarding section for

more details. Required field.

If you want you can add another Logo! by clicking again on

the Add button. If you need to change some settings of a

Logo! this can be done by clicking the Edit button. Finally

there is also a Delete button in case you want to delete the

Logo! from the Logo! list.

2.2 Step 2: Setting up the IO to be

monitored For every Logo! 93 IO (Digital, Analog and Flags) are being

evaluated each interval time. In most cases monitoring of all

IO is not needed. Therefore, in the second step the IO that

need to be monitored have to be setup. Only the IO that have

been set up can be used in the rest of the program. Eg. if you

want to give a visual representation of the valve connected to

digital output Q8 of Logo! 2 then it is necessary to add digital

output Q8 of Logo! 2 to the Monitor. Here's how to add IO to

the Monitor.

Select in the Main Menu View>Monitor. Now the Monitor

screen shows.

Fig. 5: Monitor screen

On the right side of the screen there is an Add IO button.

to the Logo!'s that were set-up in step 1 (See Step 1: Setting

up the Logo!'s) and the license is checked. (Note: The license

is valid for a Logo! with an unique MAC-address. If a

connection is made to a Logo! with this unique MAC-address

the license is valid.)

Once the connection is made the values of the IO are shown

in the IO panels on the Monitor screen. The status of the

connection is shown in the status bar at the bottom of the

screen.

Fig. 12: Status bar logo!Monitor

The number of LED's is equal to the number of Logo!'s in the

Logo! list (See Step 1: Setting up the Logo!'s). If a LED is red

there is no connection and if a LED is green the connection is

ok. The first LED from the left corresponds with the first

Logo! in the Logo! list.

5 Controlling the Logo!

5.1 Introduction

To write data to the Logo! we use the free communication

library “libnodave” (http://libnodave. sourceforge.net/). With

libnodave you can control the whole memory area of the

Logo!. WARNING: Please be sure what you are doing. Also we

remind you of the warnings of the libnodave author, that the

code of libnodave is still beta and you assume all

responsibility for its use.

5.2 Logo! Variable memory (VM)

The Logo! 0BA7 has a variable memory (VM) of 850 bytes

which can be accessed by the Logo!Monitor Multi. The

variable memory can be read by the Logo! circuit program

using a Network input or a Network analog input.

Fig. 32: Network input in Logo!Soft

Fig. 33: Network analog input in Logo!Soft

The current version of the Logo!Monitor can only use the

Network input (Network analog input will be implemented in

a later version). Figure 34 shows an example of a circuit in

Logo!Soft implementing a Network input.

Fig. 34: Network input example Logo!Soft.

In Fig. 34 a Network input NI2 address VB=10 and Bit=2 and

Input I2 is connected to a XOR block which is connected to an

output Q3. The circuit in fig. 34 is typical for an output that

can be switched both locally and remote. The address and bit

can be set in the block properties form.

5.3 Configuring the Logo!

To be able to write to the Logo! a network connection must

be configured. Go to Tools>Ethernet connections... The

configure address and connections form opens.

Now the network settings are ready to connect to the

Logo!Monitor Multi.

5.4 Writing to the Logo! using buttons

A button for writing to the Variable Memory of the Logo! can

be added to the visuals tab using the Insert button

toolbutton on the visuals toolbar.

Fig. 37: Insert button toolbutton

After adding the button to the visual tab the Add button

settings form opens. See fig. 38.

Fig. 38: Add button settings form

On the Add button form the following properties are

required:

• Logo!: Select a Logo! to control. Only Logo! that have

been made writable can be selected here.

• VB Address: This is the address of the byte that will

be written in the Logo!. The address corresponds to

the VB Address in the Network input of the Logo!Soft

circuit.

• Bit: The bit that is being written in the Logo!. The bit

number corresponds to the bit number in the

Network input of the Logo!Soft circuit.

• Turn open/off text: The caption of the button

representing the action of the button.

• Turn closed/on text: The caption of the button

representing the action of the button.

• Description: The description of the button that will be

shown as a mouse over hint.

• Width: With this trackbar the width of the button can

be changed.

When, after clicking the button, writing to the variable

memory (VM) was successful the caption changes. If there

was an error (when for example there is no connection) the

button flashes for half a second.

6 HTTP server Select in the Main Menu Settings>Http server... Now the

Http settings form opens.

Fig. 39: Http settings form

On the Http settings form the following properties are

required:

• Start Http server checkbox. Check this checkbox if

you want to use the Http server.

• Choose a port you want to use. Default port 20080 is

used. Note: Normally Http servers use port 80.

• Use login screen: With this option checked the http

server directs the user to a login page.

• User name: A single user name can be entered to be

used on the login page.

• Password: A single password can be entered to be

used on the login page.

The Open browser button opens the default browser at

address http://computer_ip:port. So for example:

http://192.168.0.195:20080, which results in the following

welcome page:

On the welcome page 3 options are available:

1. IO table

2. XML output

3. SmartPhone

The IO table shows all IO that is being monitored. XML output

basically does the same in XML format and finally

SmartPhone shows the page that was designed by the Smart

Phone Designer tool.

Fig. 41 Example of IO Table. The values in red were not obtained

recently (eg. due to disconnected Logo!). Blue values are recent.

Fig. 42 Example of XML output. Realtime no means that values were

not obtained recently (eg. due to disconnected Logo!). Realtime yes

means that values are recent.

NOTE: The server uses a client pull technique. So in order to

have the most recent data you'll need to refresh the page!!

7 Special features

7.1 Command line start The Logo!Monitor can be started from the command line. An

example is shown below.

"C:\ \LogoMonitor_Multi.exe" "C:\installation.lmf" /start /log /kiosk

The format of the command line is:

"path\LogoMonitor_Multi.exe" "path\projectfile.lmf" params

The parameters are:

/start Logo!monitor starts automatically after

loading the project file.

/log Logo!Monitor logs automatically after

loading the project file.

/kiosk Logo!Monitor starts automatically in the

kiosk mode after loading the project file.

/nowarnings Logo!Monitor shows no warning dialogs.

7.2 Port forwarding Port forwarding allows remote computers, for example,

computers on the Internet, to connect to a specific computer

or service within a private local area network (LAN).

In a typical residential network, internet access is obtained

through a DSL or cable modem connected to a router or

network address translator (NAT/NAPT). Hosts on the private

network are connected to an Ethernet switch or

communicate via a wireless LAN. The NAT device's external

interface is configured with a public IP address. The

computers behind the router, on the other hand, are invisible

to hosts on the Internet as they each communicate only with

a private IP address.

When configuring port forwarding, the network

administrator sets aside one port number on the gateway for

exclusive use of communicating with a service in the private

network, located on a specific host. External hosts must know

this port number and the address of the gateway to


6 februari 2012

communicate with the network-internal service. Often, the

port numbers of well-known Internet services, such as port

number 80 for web services (HTTP), are used in port

forwarding, so that common Internet services may be

implemented on hosts within private networks.

In the case of Logo!Monitor the following settings should be

applied when connecting to Logo!'s within a private local

area network. Assume that the LAN's ip address to the

internet is 80.60.100.26 and within that LAN there are 3

Logo!'s with ip-addresses: 192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.11 and

192.168.0.12. The Logo!'s can only communicate through

port 10001.

Now, add the three Logo!'s to the Logo! list. For all Logo!'s

the ip-address should be 80.60.100.26 but they should all

three have different ports eg. 10001, 10002 and 10003.

Now, let your router forward a request to 80.60.100.26 on

port 10001 to 192.168.0.10 with port 10001. Secondly,

forward a request to 80.60.100.26 on port 10002 to

192.168.0.11 with port 10001. And finally, forward a request

to 80.60.100.26 on port 10003 to 192.168.0.12 with port

10001.

In this way it is possible connect to Logo!'s from outside a

LAN. Note: Don't forget to set the gateway of the three

Logo!'s.

7.3 Function keys Logo!Monitor Multi has several convenient function keys:

F9: Connect/Disconnect Logo!'s

F10: Activate/Deactivate Logging mode

F11: Show/Hide user interface

7.4 Export/Import With the export function in the File section of the menu the

loaded project can be exported in a single file. This export file

(with extension .lme) can be imported by Logo!Monitor Multi

on other computers. All necessary files and images are
