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

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. | Quirex BV

Manual Logo!Monitor Multi

6 februari 2012 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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 41 | Quirex BV

Manual Logo!Monitor Multi

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
