How long must an input signal be present for it to be captured reliably by LOGO! 24?
PROBLEM: How long must an input signal be present for it to be captured reliably by the LOGO! 24?
ANSWER:
Note the following times:
1. Hardware delay of inputs: 50ms (filter time)
2. Cycle time of LOGO!: 7 to 70ms (depending on the program length)
This means that a signal must be at present at the terminal for at least 50ms + 70ms = 120ms for LOGO!
24 to capture it reliably.
-
Switch rate of the outputs
PROBLEM:
What are the switch rates that can be used for the outputs of LOGO! 24?
ANSWER:
This depends on the program length and the switching behavior of the LOGO! outputs.
The change of state of the outputs always comes at the end of the program (at the end of cycle for the
process image output). 2 cycles are needed for an output state change. The cycle time fluctuates between
5ms and 70ms. This fluctuation comes mostly from the program length.
The outputs of the LOGO! switch very quickly within milliseconds. This time is therefore negligible
compared with the program length.
Estimated switch rate: 2*70ms = 140ms ==> 7Hz .
-
Accuracy of time switch in LOGO! 230
PROBLEM:
How accurate is the time switch in LOGO! 230RC ?
ANSWER:
Any inaccuracies of the time switch are determined by the relative and the absolute deviation.
Both deviations sum.
a) Relative deviation:
The +/- 5s per day defined in the LOGO! manual refer to the relative deviation of the time switch per day.
This deviation sums during the operating time of the LOGO!. This means that, for example, after 30 days
operation the time switch can deviate by up to +/- 150s.
b) Absolute deviation:
During one hour the worst case deviation can lie between -131s to +72s. This deviation does not sum over
hours however, it is valid only for each separate hour.

Twelve-month time switch function cannot be parameterized with LOGO!
QUESTION:
Why can't I parameterize the twelve-month time switch with LOGO!?
ANSWER:
This is most likely because "German" was not installed as the language when LOGO!Soft Comfort was
installed.
Remedy:
Make sure that "German" is installed when you want to parameterize the twelve-month time switch. You
can set another language at any time on the interface.

Parameter settings for the on and off switch delays
QUESTION:
In which area can you set the times for the on and off switch delays (Parameter T)?
ANSWER:
The following holds for the Parameter T:
1. Value range:
From 00:10s to 99:59h (i.e. from 100ms to 99h59m).
You can use the s / m / h areas.
2. Accuracy:
+/- 1% (worst case)
Examples of Parameter T:
1h = 3600s ===>accuracy: +/- 36s
1m = 60s ===>accuracy: +/- 0.6s

Blocks disappear when the cursor is moved over them.
QUESTION:
Why do blocks disappear to a certain extent when I move the cursor over them?
ANSWER:
When you move the cursor over the block on the programmer interface, they are either selected or
disappear to a certain extent. If the cursor is moved in the menus, a broken blue bar appears.
This behavior may have one of the following causes:
You have Microsoft Themes installed on your computer. This program supports various
backgrounds, colors and cursors.
Remedy:
Instead of Microsoft Themes use Windows Standard. Then the Logo! soft software works
perfectly.
You have changed the mouse pointer scheme.
Remedy:
Set the mouse pointer scheme to "None" or "Windows Standard". You make the changes in the
Control Panel under Mouse Properties. Select the "Pointer" tab and then change the mouse
pointer under "Scheme".
You are using the MS-IntelliMaus under Win98 and have activated the mouse pointer trail.
Remedy:
Deactivate the mouse pointer trail.

Functions & Samples: artificial hysteresis on the analog comparator
QUESTION:
How can I influence the input sensitivity of an analog comparator?
ANSWER:
The output of the analogue comparator can be delayed selectively with the functions "ON delay" and
"OFF delay". The effect is that the output is set only when the trigger value "Trg" is longer than the
defined ON delay time "TH". When the output is set, it can be reset only when the trigger value is longer
than the defined OFF delay time "TL".
This creates an artificial hysteresis which makes the input less sensitive to temporary changes.
Example:
The figure shows the switching setup.

Temperature switch with LOGO!
QUESTION:
How is a temperature switch implemented with LOGO!?
ANSWER:
The temperature switch can be set up with a PTC and the function "Analog trigger".
Example:
Setup of a temperature switch with LOGO! (24V) and a PTC 90°C
Wiring diagram:
Note:
The PTC used has a resistance of 60 Ohm at room temperature (20°C) and a resistance of 150 Ohm
at 100°C. The input voltage (here at Input 7) is calculated as follows:
The voltage values therefore lie between about 2.5V and 5.5V (at temperatures between 20°C and
100°C).
Parameterizing the function:
12
Um PLC sem Watchdog
Select the function "Analog trigger" and set the following parameters:
The switch-on threshold is then at 4V (approx. 60°C) and the switch-off threshold is at 2.8V
(approx. 30°C).

Wrong time display on seven-day time switch
QUESTION:
On my PG/PC with Spanish Win95 and LOGO!Soft Comfort V2.0 the wrong time is displayed on the
seven-day time switch during simulation. How can I clear this problem?
ANSWER:
You are using a PG/PC with Spanish Win95. In the "Date/Time Properties" window you have the time
zone "(GMT-03:00) Buenos Aires, Georgetown" set.
If you simulate the seven-day time switch in the LOGO!Soft Comfort V2.0, then it is not the system time
that is displayed, but Greenwich Mean Time.
13
Um PLC sem Watchdog
Remedy:
In order to have LOGO!Soft Comfort V2.0 display the correct local time, you must fix the time zone. For
this open the file
"C:\Programs\Siemens\LOGOSoft_V2\LogoComfortStart.ini".
Add the following line to this file:
OPTIONS="-Duser.timezone=GMT-03:00"
Then you must restart LOGO!Soft Comfort V2.0.
Important:
If your time zone is different to GMT-03:00, then have to adapt the entry accordingly to the difference in
time.

Using the simulator for analogue triggers for LOGO!Soft Comfort
QUESTION:
What should I watch out for if I want to simulate trigger values in LOGO!Soft Comfort?
ANSWER:
You have programmed a configuration with analogue inputs, triggers and an output as shown in Figure 1.
14
Um PLC sem Watchdog
Figure 1: Initial situation - Simulation of a trigger

Via "Properties" of the trigger (mark the icon of the trigger, then "Right-click > Properties") you have
assigned the value "0" for the measuring range "(0 V)" and the value "100" for the measurement range
"(10 V)".
The high and low threshold values you have set to "70" and "20" respectively.
For "Gain/%" "10" has been entered automatically (see Figure 2 for these settings).
Figure 2: Parameters of the analog trigger

Now you can simulate an analog input via the simulator and thus test the functionality of the trigger.
The simulator now offers you by default a variable value range of "0 to 10" (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Parameters for simulation

15
Um PLC sem Watchdog
This is not sufficient to cover and test the desired value range of "0 to 100" (corresponding to 0 to 10V).
Not even the low threshold value of "20" is reached.
Remedy:
In order to use the simulator correctly, you must set the minimum and maximum values of the two analog
simulation sensors as illustrated in Figure 4 to the range of "0 to 100".
You open the selection dialog via "Tools > Simulation parameters".
Figure 4: Function of the input switches

Then you can simulate the complete voltage range (0 V to 10 V).
Note:
The standard setting for the maximum value in the simulation sensor is "10".
An alternative solution under the given requirements is if you select settings as shown in Figure 5.

Fluctuating analogue values when using the LOGO! AM2 extension module
QUESTION:
Why do I get fluctuating analogue values when using the LOGO! AM2 extension module AM2/AM2
PT100?
ANSWER:
Fluctuating analog values are the result of a non-existing or incorrectly mounted shielding of the
connection cable from the analog value encoder to the LOGO! analog module (sensor cable).
To avoid fluctuating analogue values when using the module AM2/AM2 PT100 we recommend the
following procedure:
Use only shielded sensor lines.

Keep the sensor cable as short as possible.
The sensor cable should not exceed a length of 10m.
Clamp the shielding of the sensor cable only on one side and only to the PE terminal of the AM2
module.
Connect the ground of the sensor supply to the PE terminal of the module.

device
QUESTION:
Why is it not possible to process negative differential parameter inside the analogue comparator with my
LOGO! 0BA3 basic device?
ANSWER:
Negative differential parameter of the analogue comparator can be defined within the parameterization
and also be tested within the simulation . However, a processing of these parameters with a LOGO! 0BA3
device is not possible.

Analogue inputs at LOGO-modules
QUESTIONS:
Is is possible for LOGO-modules to import analogue values?
ANSWER:
All LOGO!Basic and LOGO!Pure variants have two analogue inputs starting at equipment line 0BA2
with supply voltage of 12/24 V DC. The analogue inputs are utilizable in the range from 0 to 10 V.
Starting at the equipment line 0BA3 with the analogue extension modules AM2 and AM2 PT100,
further analogue inputs are available. Both analogue modules have 2 analogue input channels. The
analogue extension module AM2 is parameterizable for the following ranges: 0-10 V, 0-20 mA and 420 mA. The analogue module AM2 PT100 is parameterizable for the use in the range from -50 ...
+200C .

LOGO!Soft Comfort 4.0.32 cannot be started
QUESTION:
Why can I only start the software in the German and English languages after a successful installation of
LOGO!Soft Comfort Version 4.0.32?
ANSWER:
If the software LOGO! Soft Comfort V4.0.32 has not been additionally installed in one of the setuplanguages German or English, then when starting the software, only the start display appears and the
application cannot be started.
This problem can be solved by proceeding as per below.
Look in the installation directory for the folder in which you have installed the LOGO! software. In our
example it is: "C:\Program Files\Siemens\LOGOComfort_V4". Change the file names xxx .exe and
xxx .lax into Start.exe and Start.lax.

Program conversion from FBD to LAD does not work with LOGO!SoftConfort version V4.0x
and higher
QUESTION:
Why can't I convert a LOGO! program from Function Block Diagram (FBD) to Ladder Diagram (LAD)
using the software LOGO!Soft Comfort 4.0.x?
ANSWER:
If you have created a project for a LOGO! device of the device series 0BA1 up to and including 0BA3
and you are already using the maximum permissible number of 56 function blocks, then under certain
circumstances conversion to the ladder diagram is not done.
If you use a LOGO! device up to and including the device series 0BA3, you only have a maximum of 56
function blocks available. The number of usable function blocks has been increased to 130 only from
device series 0BA4.
22
Um PLC sem Watchdog
Fig. 1: Error message in the Conversion function

This behaviour is based on the fact that when converting from FBD to LAD - depending on the function
implemented - additional blocks are added to realize the identical functions in LAD. Thus the maximum
permissible number of blocks for the LOGO! device is exceeded.
Remedy:
In the software, go to "Tools > Select Device" and select the device series 0BA4 and then start the
conversion to LAD. Then, by going to "Options > Specify LOGO!" you can see the device series into
which you can import the program.
Fig. 2: Specifying the LOGO! device

In our example only one LOGO! of the device series 0BA4 can be implemented. If you then select a
device series less than 0BA4 in the software under "Options > Select Device", then error messages are
displayed there.
23
Um PLC sem Watchdog
Fig. 3: Select Hardware error message

Important:
You can then only import the converted program into a LOGO! of the device series 0BA4. Reconverting
to FBD doesn't help either, because the additional blocks are not removed again by the software

Simulating a key combination with a LOGO! Module
QUESTION:
How can I realize a key combination with several keys that are not mechanically linked and a LOGO!
module?
ANSWER:
If you need a key combination (in our example with three keys), then please proceed as follows:
Connect three keys (make contacts) to the inputs I1, I2 and I3 of your LOGO! module.
Program your LOGO! module with a relevant LOGO! project, as in the download.
Start your LOGO! module and observe the behaviour of outputs Q1, Q2 and Q3 when you
press the keys. If you hit key I2, for example, the associated output Q2 is switched on. At the
same time the other two outputs (Q1 and Q3) are switched off. The output Q2 remains
switched on until you hit one of the other keys (I1 or I3). Each key switches on its own
associated output and switches all the other outputs off.

Setpoint value cannot be changed in message text
QUESTION:
Why can't you change the set point value of the switch-off time in the active message text of the LOGO!
device series 0BA4?
ANSWER:
The following behaviour can occur in LOGO! base modules of the device series 0BA4 with product
release 01:
When using the special function "7-day time switch", with active message text you cannot change the
"Switch-off time" parameter directly on the display.
Instead of the "Switch-off time" the "Switch-on time" is always displayed in the message text. After
changing the "Switch-off time" parameter the new set point value is not incorporated in the message
text. After acknowledging the changed "Switch-off time" parameter with "OK" the previous value of the
parameter is again displayed in this message text line.
The functionality of the special function "7-day time switch" is not affected by this behaviour.
Remedy:
If the parameters for this special function on the LOGO! device are changed via the menu item "Set
Param", there is no defective display - the changes are incorporated and executed without error.
Entry ID: 17614077 gives you information on how you can change the parameters in an active message
text.
Note:
This behavior only occurs with LOGO! base devices of the device series 0BA4 with product release 01
and is no longer relevant for devices of product release 02 and higher.
You can tell the product release from the sticker depicted below on the LOGO!. The X stands for the
current product release; in our figure therefore the product release is 02.

Wrong interpretation of input signals with different basic functions of th LOGO! Device
series 0BA4
QUESTION:
Why in the base modules of the LOGO! device series 0BA4 are the "Status_0 signals" (low) wrongly
interpreted at the inputs of various basic functions?
ANSWER:
In the base modules of the LOGO! device series 0BA4 with product release 1, under certain
circumstances for specific basic functions a "Status_0 Signal" (low) is wrongly interpreted and
processed as "Status_1 Signal" (high).
This behaviour affects the following basic functions:
AND, NAND, AND, AND, NAND and NOT
Fig. 1: Input signal Status_0

As a workaround we recommend giving the basic function a "Status_1 Signal" (high) and the
switching the NOT basic function.
Fig. 2: New switching of the input signals basic function

Note:
This behaviour is relevant only for base module of the LOGO! device series 0BA4 with product
release 1. This behaviour no longer occurs in devices with product release 2.

QUESTION:
Why does the integrated time of the LOGO!-base block misplace itself spontaneously?
ANSWER:
When using a LOGO!-base block of the device line 0BA4 with digital or analog extension modules, the
time synchronization which is described in the manual must not be activated.
At present no LOGO! extension modules are available which support the functionality of the time
synchronization.
Thus check whether the time synchronization is deactivated. Proceed as follows:

Short impulses (1ms) are only sporadically recognized at the digital inputs of LOGO!
QUESTION:
Why are short impulses only sporadically recognized at the digital inputs of LOGO! ?
ANSWER:
The digital inputs of LOGO! are queried only once prior to every cycle. An impulse signal must last at
least one cycle in order to be securely recognize at the digital input.
Cycle times of LOGO!24 0BA3 - basic unit: ca. 7ms til 57ms
Cycle times of LOGO!24 0BA4 - basic unit: ca.0,6ms til 8,0ms
The digital inputs I5 and I6 of LOGO! can be queried also during a cycle in connection with a threshold
trigger for frequencies.

Fig. 1: Interconnecting a threshold trigger

The threshold trigger for frequencies counts the impulses that are lined up at the input independent of the
cycle! The impulses are detected via a time sequence that can be parameterized (the gate time should be
at least 50ms). The output of the threshold trigger is set or reset depending on the set threshold values.

Using the analogue input value of a potentiometer as parameter for a timer/counter function
(LOGO! Soft)
QUESTION:
Can I use the analogue input value of a potentiometer as a parameter for a timer (switch-on/off delay) or
counter function?
ANSWER:
Important notes on connecting a potentiometer to the built-in analogue inputs of the LOGO! module are
available in Entry: 17967360.
Via the program you can capture the analogue input values of the potentiometer via the
interconnection of an analogue input with an analogue amplifier and an analogue marker. On the
analogue amplifier it is possible to scale the analogue values for further use.
The timer value of an on/off delay or the switch-on/off limit off a counter can be linked to the
scaled analogue value.
For this you open the Properties dialog of the counter or timer element.
Via the "Reference" button you specify the scaled analogue value (analogue amplifier) at timer
value, e.g. when using an switch-on/off delay.
31
Um PLC sem Watchdog
Fig. 1: Reference to the scaled value

If you use a counter, then you can link the switch-on/off limit to the scaled analog value of the
potentiometer.
LOGO! Soft Comfort programs as archive file:
The archive file poti.exe contains the two sample programs counter.lsc and timer.lsc. In the counter.lsc
example the switch-on/off limit of a counter is set using potentiometers. In the timer.lsc example the
timer value of a switch-on delay is specified with a potentiometer.
poti.exe
( 45 KB )
Copy the poti.exe file into a separate directory and then start it with a double-click. The LOGO! Soft
Comfort programs are unpacked. You can then use LOGO! Soft Comfort V4.0.51 to open and process the
programs.

Labelling LOGO! Basic and expansion modules
QUESTION:
How can I label LOGO! modules to have clear assignment of the inputs/outputs of expansion modules,
for example?
ANSWER:
Gray squares are provides on the modules themselves for labelling the LOGO! modules.
For the expansion module you can use the gray areas for unique identification of the inputs and outputs,
for example. For labelling the inputs/outputs you can specify a delta factor of +8 for the inputs and +4 for
the outputs if the basic module already has eight inputs and four outputs respectively.

Expansion unit (digital/analog module) on LOGO! (0BA4) does not go into RUN
QUESTION:
Why doesn't the expansion unit (digital/analogue module) on LOGO! (0BA4) not go into RUN mode (red
LED lights)?
ANSWER:
In order for the expansion unit (digital/analogue module) on LOGO! (0BA4) to go into RUN mode you
should check the following:
If the slide contact between LOGO! and digital module or analogue module properly engaged?
Has the power supply been connected to the digital/analogue module?
Please make sure that the power supply of the expansion module is switched on before or at the
same time as the power supply of LOGO!. If not, the expansion unit will not be recognized
when you start up the LOGO! Basic module.
QUESTION:
Why do the inputs flicker on the display of LOGO! ...0BA4 even though they are permanently present
and not interrupted?
ANSWER:
The cycle time for LOGO! ...0BA4 is significantly shorter than in previous models (e.g. ...0BA3). In
some cases earlier LOGO!s work perfectly well in a setup, whereas the inputs for LOGO! ...0BA4 flicker.
The reason lies in the power supply or its rectification and filtering.
LOGO! recognizes the temporary drop under the minimum voltage for Signal 1 and forwards this to the
program. Earlier models of LOGO! were slower in this respect because of the longer cycle time.
Under certain circumstances this behavior is observed only on the extension modules when a LOGO!
24RC (AC+DC) is used as the basic module and another type, e.g. DM8 12/24R (DC only) is used as the
extension module.
34

Remedy:
You need a power supply with a higher value and with better rectification and filtering (e.g.
LOGO!Power, SITOP power).

Connecting a potentiometer to the integrated analog inputs on the LOGO! module
QUESTION:
What must I watch out for when connecting a potentiometer to the integrated analogue inputs of the
LOGO! module?
ANSWER:
Analogue inputs can also be used on-board from the 0BA2 series onwards. This option can be used in
LOGO!24 and LOGO! 12/24. In the 0BA2 series, only LOGO! 24 Basic with inputs I7 and I8 configured
as analog inputs 1 and 2 respectively supports this.
If you are using 0BA3-series devices, inputs I7 and I8 can be used as analogue inputs 1 and 2 in base
modules LOGO!24 and LOGO 12/24 RC / RCo.
There is a voltage range of 0-10V available for this.
To get a 10V maximum reading with a full rotation of the potentiometer, depending on the potentiometer
input voltage you would have to connect another series resistor.
We recommend choosing the following potentiometer sizes and the corresponding series resistor.
Voltage
Potentiometer
Series resistance
12V
5 kOhm
--
24V
5 kOhm
6.8 kOhm
Table 1: Selecting off the potentiometer and resistor sizes

If you use a potentiometer and 10V input voltage as maximum value, and if there is already an input
voltage of 24 V, then 14V has got to be lost by the series resistor to give a maximum 10V value with a
full rotation of the potentiometer. This can be ignored with a 12V voltage.

Why does the LOGO! detect a 1-signal at the input in a switch with a glow lamp or in a
proximity switch, even if the contact is broken?
Description:
The diagram below illustrates how a switch with a glow lamp is connected to a LOGO!. As a result of the
37
Um PLC sem Watchdog
current flowing through the glow lamp, the LOGO! detects a 1-signal even though the switch contact is
not made.
However, if a switch is used whose glow lamp has a separate voltage supply, this does not occur.
This event can also occur if there are proximity switches connected. If you are using a 2-wire proximity
switch, take note if its zero-signal current. The zero-signal current in some proximity switches is so high
that the LOGO! actually detects it as a "1"-signal. Therefore, compare the zero-signal current for the
proximity switches with the technical data for the inputs in the LOGO! Manual. You can find the manual
for your version of LOGO! under "Technical Documentation on Micro Automation"
Remedy:
In order to suppress this occurrence, insert an X-capacitor with a rating of 100 nF and 2.5 kV. In the
event of damage, this type of capacitor isolates the circuit safely. When choosing the level of voltage for
which the capacitor is designed, ensure that it is not damaged in the event of a voltage surge!
The voltage between N and an input I(n) may not be any greater than 40V at 230V AC so as to guarantee
a 0-signal. About 10 glow lamps can be connected to the capacitor.

How do you have a digital output switched depending on the temperature threshold value?
Instructions:
To have a digital output switched depending on the temperature threshold value you need a LOGO! basic
device, an expansion module AM2 PT100, a PT100 temperature sensor and the latest version of the
LOGO!Soft Comfort software.
1. The number of inputs depends on the LOGO! basic device
For the LOGO! basic module with a DC supply voltage there are already two analogue inputs of 0-10V
incorporated in the basic device. This is why you must count these two analogue inputs when assigning
the inputs for the analog module.
This means:
For a LOGO! basic module with 230V AC power supply, the first analog input of the first AM2
module is also Analogue Input 1 in the software.
For a LOGO! basic module with 12/24 V AC power supply, the first analog input of the first
AM2 module is the Analogue Input 3 when programming.

Select PT 100 under Sensor.

Under Unit you select Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Under Resolution, you select whether you want to measure in full degrees or 10ths of a degree.
In the latter case the measured value is multiplied by 10.
Under Threshold, you select the threshold value. If you are measuring in 10ths of a degree, then
this must also be taken into account when setting the threshold value. For measurements in 10ths
of a degree, for example, for 50.1 C the input issues the value 501. Specify a switch on/off
threshold which when overshot or undershot sets or resets the digital output.
If you want to have the temperature value shown with a message text on a display (LOGO!
Display or LOGO! TD), then you must specify 1 for the decimal place in the case of a resolution
of 0.1.

How do you scale measured values in LOGO! Soft Comfort?
Instructions:
The following sample calculation demonstrates the scaling of analogue measured values in LOGO! Soft
Comfort.
A weighing module with a range of 0kg to 10kg provides the weighing range as a proportional voltage of
0.5V to 4.7V. The following parameters must be specified for correct processing of these values in
LOGO!:
Gain
Offset
To give a clear definition of these parameters the measuring voltage was put on the X axis and the weight
to be measured on the Y axis of a Cartesian coordinate system. The two known points (0.5V/0kg) and
(4.7V/10kg) were entered as a cross and joined with a straight line.
Fig. 01
49
Um PLC sem Watchdog
No.
Remarks
The "Gain" parameter is calculated from the gradient of the straight lines:
Gain = weighing range / measuring range = (max. weighing value - min. weighing value) /
(maximum measured value - minimum measured value)
The result for the present example is: Gain = ((10kg - 0kg) / (4.7V -0.5V) = 2.38 kg/V
Assuming that the minimum measured value is a weight of 0kg, the offset is calculated as
follows: Offset = Gain * Minimum measured value
The result for the present example is: Offset = 2.38kg/V * (-0.5V) = -1.19kg
Enter the value 2.38 for the "Gain" parameter in the appropriate dialog field of the analogue
amplifier. The offset can only be given as an integer. The value of "-1.19kg" calculated in the
example above has to be multiplied by a factor of 100. The offset is then "-119 kg" which you
enter in the appropriate field of the analogue amplifier dialog.
In order to be able to display the values in "kg" you specify "2" for "Decimals in the message
text".

The parameters "Minimum" and "Maximum" are calculated automatically by LOGO! Comfort.

With LOGO! how can you configure switching thresholds for analog signals?
Instructions:
Depending on the number of analogue signals to be evaluated you can use various special functions in
LOGO! SoftComfort for defining switching thresholds.
Switching threshold for two analogue signals
You use an analogue comparator to evaluate the difference between two analogue signals. A high/low
signal is generated for further processing depending on the input and output thresholds parameterized.
Fig. 1
In the example above the switch-on threshold has been set to "10" and the switch-off threshold to "5". If
the difference between AI1-AI2 is a value greater that "10", the output Q1 is set to "High". If the
difference drops to the value "5", Q1 is set to "Low". Switching threshold for one analogue signal
You use analogue value monitoring to compare the actual value of an analogue signal with a reference
value of the same signal. This special function stores a value at the analogue input at an arbitrary point in
time and switches the output as soon as the current value at the analogue input drops below or exceeds the
stored reference value plus a parameterizable delta value.
Fig. 2
In the example above the delta value for the input/output threshold has been set to the value "10". You
store the reference value ("0") here by activating input I1. If the value of analogue input AI3 exceeds the
reference value by the value "10", output Q2 is set to "High". If the difference drops to the value "10" or
less, Q2 is set to "Low".

How can you use an analogue input of LOGO! setpoint value for a PI controller?
Instructions:
You can capture the analogue input's value in the program by interconnecting an analogue input with an
analogue amplifier and an analogue analogue marker. On the analogue amplifier you can scale the
analogue value for further use.
Fig. 01
Now you connect the analogue value with the parameters "Setpoint value" or "Manual mode output" of a
PI controller. For this you open the Properties dialog of the PI controller.
Via the "Reference" button you specify the scaled analogue value as setpoint, for example.

How can you switch fluorescent tubes safely with the LOGO!?
QUESTION:
How can I realize a key combination with several keys that are not mechanically linked and a LOGO!
module?
ANSWER:
If you need a key combination (in our example with three keys), then please proceed as follows:
Connect three keys (make contacts) to the inputs I1, I2 and I3 of your LOGO! module.
Program your LOGO! module with a relevant LOGO! project, as in the download.
Start your LOGO! module and observe the behaviour of outputs Q1, Q2 and Q3 when you press
the keys. If you hit key I2, for example, the associated output Q2 is switched on. At the same
time the other two outputs (Q1 and Q3) are switched off. The output Q2 remains switched on
until you hit one of the other keys (I1 or I3). Each key switches on its own associated output and
switches all the other outputs off.
Note:
You can test the function charts beforehand with the simulation function in LOGO!Soft Comfort V4.0.

With LOGO! how can you store analogue values as non-volatile?
Non-volatile saving of an analog value in the LOGO!.
The LOGO! cannot store the analogue value directly. You can increment and decrement a counter using
the "Analogue comparator", "Analogue MUX" and "Pulse encoder" blocks until it has the same value as
the analogue input. The switch I1 is for storing the actual value of the counter.
Sample application:
64
Um PLC sem Watchdog
You can use this function, for example, with a compressor for controlling and storing the pressure. You
can control the compressor until it has attained the pressure required. You can then store this value in the
counter so that you can use it again the next time you start the compressor. Via a digital output you can
see whether the compressor has brought the pressure up to the stored value..
Due to the inertia you can also use this application as an analogue value filter.
Fig. 01
Two examples to explain the function:
Example 1:
Change of the analogue input by +500
No. Function
1
The value at analogue input AI1 changes by +500.
The analogue comparators B002 and B005 register the change of value. The input I1 is "Off" and
the counter has no change of value.
(AI1= 500, B002 = +500/On, B005 = -500/Off, I1 = "Off", B001 = 0/"Off")
65
Um PLC sem Watchdog
The output of the analogue comparator B002 is now "On" and activates the pulse encoder B004.
This generates pulses of 1ms duration and 1ms pause and forwards them to the "And" gate B008.
The counter B001 does not increment its count value.
The input I1 is switched on and the "And" gate B008 forwards the pulses to the counter B001.
(AI1= 500, B002 = +500/On, B005 = -500/Off, I1 = "Off", B001 = 0/"Off")
The counter B001 increments its count value.
The counter B001 acts on the analogue comparators B002 and B005 via the "Analogue MUX"
B003.
If the counter value matches that of the analogue input, the pulse encoder B004 is switched off.
(AI1 = 500, B002 = 0/Off, B005 = 0/Off, B001 = 500 I1 = "On", B001 = 0/"On")
The value is "stored" when input I1 is switched off. Now a change of analogue input AI1 does not
act on the value of the counter.
10 The "Analog MUX" B007 gives the stored value of counter B001 to the analogue output AQ1.
Example 2:
Change of the analogue input by -250
No. Function
1
The value at analogue input AI1 changes by -250.
The analogue comparators B002 and B005 register the change of value. The input I1 is "Off" and
the counter has no change of value.
(AI1= 250, B002 = -250/"Off", B005 = +250/"On", I1 = "Off", B001 = 0/"Off")
The output of the analogue comparator B005 is now "On" and activates the pulse encoder B004.
This generates pulses of 1ms duration and 1ms pause and forwards them to the "And" gate B008.
The counter B001 does not decrement its count value.
The input I1 is switched on and the "And" gate B008 forwards the pulses to the counter B001.
(AI1= 250, B002 = -250/"Off", B005 = -500/"On", I1 = "On", B001 = 0/"On")
The counter B001 decrements its count value.
The counter B001 acts on the analogue comparators B002 and B005 via the "Analogue MUX"
B003.
If the counter value matches that of the analogue input, the pulse encoder B004 is switched off.
(AI1 = 250, B002 = 0/Off, B005 = 0/Off, B001 = 500 I1 = "On", B001 = 0/"On")
The value is "stored" when input I1 is switched off. Now a change of analogue input AI1 does not
66
Um PLC sem Watchdog
act on the value of the counter.

10 The "Analogue MUX" B007 gives the stored value of counter B001 to the analog output AQ1.
Sample program:
You can download this sample program for better understanding.
Logo_stored_analogi
nput.zip
( 12 KB )
Note:
Matching the count value to that of the analog input takes time. A change of +/- 100 at the analog input
with a scaling of 0-1000, 1ms pulse pause and 1ms pulse duration takes approx. 5s to calculate.
If the input I1 is "On", the counter B001 adjusts to the analog input AI1. If you switch off the input I1, the
counter B001 stores the current value in the counter B001 at the time of switch-off. The counter then no
longer adjusts to the analog input AI1 even if it changes.

With the function keys of the LOGO! Text Display, how can you increment/decrement a
setpoint?
Description:
You can change the values in LOGO! logic modules using the menu function "SetParam" and selecting
the block to be changed.
However, if you want to change setpoint values directly in the Program View, for example, via the
LOGO! TD function keys, then you should use the LOGO!Soft Comfort program code provided below.
Hitting the function key once increments or decrements the value and holding the key down
increments/decrements the value continuously until you release the function key.
This function is suitable for all applications that need gradual increasing or decreasing of a setpoint value,
for example, like the setting of
Threshold values (e.g. heating, timers)

Valve setting

71
Um PLC sem Watchdog
Fig. 01
Function:
No. How it works

1
Key F1 of the LOGO! TDs increases the setpoint value B001 and F2 decreases it.
The Exclusive OR block B004 serves to counterlock the function keys in each case.
Thus, if you hit function keys F1 and F2 at the same time, nothing happens.
When you hit F1 exclusive or (B004) F2, a positive edge is at the "Cnt" input of the counter B001.
Since F2 defines the negative direction at the "Dir" input of the counter B001, the value of the
counter B001 increases by one when F1 is hit once and decreases by one when F2 is hit once.
The exclusive OR block B004 also switches the switch-on delay B005, which is set to 2 seconds.
This means that pressing the function keys for longer than 2 seconds activates the pulse encoder
B002.
The pulses (here: 5ms duration, 5ms pause) are then forwarded to the counter input "Cnt".
The exclusive OR block B003 ensures recognition of the pulses of pulse encoder B002, because the
pulses would not be recognized with an OR-linked single hit or continuous pressing of the function
keys.
Evaluation and display of the setpoint value B001 is then performed by transfer to other function
blocks and in the message text.
Table 01
Note:
Modification of the time after which continuous changing of the setpoint value starts, is done by defining
the switch-on delay time of block B005.
Modification of how fast the continuous incrementation should be, is done by defining the pulse duration
and pulse pause times of the pulse encoder B002.

The following behaviour can occur in LOGO! base modules of the device series 0BA4 with product
release 01:
When using the special function "7-day time switch", with active message text you cannot change the
"Switch-off time" parameter directly on the display.
Instead of the "Switch-off time" the "Switch-on time" is always displayed in the message text. After
changing the "Switch-off time" parameter the new setpoint value is not incorporated in the message text.
After acknowledging the changed "Switch-off time" parameter with "OK" the previous value of the
parameter is again displayed in this message text line.
The functionality of the special function "7-day time switch" is not affected by this behaviour.
Remedy:
If the parameters for this special function on the LOGO! device are changed via the menu item "Set
Param", there is no defective display - the changes are incorporated and executed without error.
Entry ID: 17614077 gives you information on how you can change the parameters in an active message
text.
73

Note:
This behavior only occurs with LOGO! base devices of the device series 0BA4 with product release 01
and is no longer relevant for devices of product release 02 and higher.
You can tell the product release from the sticker depicted below on the LOGO!. The X stands for the
current product release; in our figure therefore the product release is 02.

What devices do you require to operate LOGO! modules on the AS-interface bus, and in which
form is data exchange possible?
Instructions:
You need a LOGO! basis module (MLFB: 6ED1052..) + the CM AS-interface module.
In order to send data to and from the LOGO! module via the AS-interface bus, you also need
an AS-interface power supply and

an AS-interface master (e.g. S7-200 with CP243-2 or a DP/AS-I Link 20 E).
LOGO! can be operated on the AS-interface bus only as slave. Direct data exchange between two LOGO!
devices is not possible. Data exchange always takes place via the AS-interface master.
Please note that the LOGO! CM AS-interface expansion module needs 4 inputs and 4 outputs of the
LOGO! address area.

Which addresses have to be assigned for the LOGO! module on the ASI bus?
Instructions:
You need a LOGO! basis module (MLFB: 6ED1052..) + the CM AS-i expansion module.
These devices are factory-set with the address=0. If you replace a LOGO! device with a new module, then
you do not need to set any special address. Connect the bus connecting cable to the connector enclosed
(pay attention to poling) and slot the connector into the ASI interface of the LOGO! module (ID).
77
Um PLC sem Watchdog
As soon as the module is connected with the bus line, the ASI master (e.g. SIMATIC S7-200 with
CP243-2 or a DP/AS-i link 20 E) recognizes the address of the LOGO! module. The ASI master now
automatically assigns the correct address to the LOGO! module. A new (additional) LOGO! module has
to be addressed via the master. You can do this either with an ASI programming device (MLFB:
3RK1904-2AB01) or with a PC with appropriate bus interface.

How can you connect a PT100 sensor to the LOGO! analog expansion module AM2 PT100?
Instructions:
To the LOGO! analogue expansion module AM2 PT100 you can connect sensors with 2-conductor (Fig.
1), 3-conductor (Fig. 2) or 4-conductor (Fig. 3) connections.
In the case of the 2-conductor connection there is no correction of the error caused by the
resistance
of the measuring circuits. You must build in a jumper between the M1+ and IC1
connections.
Fig. 1
In the case of the 3-conductor connection the measuring circuits' resistance is compensated and does not
enter the measuring result. For correct measuring results all the conductors must have the same resistance.
You achieve this by making sure that the conductors all have the same length and the same cross-section.

How do you insert more analog function blocks in LOGO!Soft Comfort when the maximum
number of analog outputs has been reached?
Description:
In order to be able to transfer the LOGO!Soft Comfort program into the LOGO! basic version, all the
block outputs must be interconnected or connected to an output.
Apart from the interconnection, depending on the block, you require a digital output (digital output,
digital flag or open connector), or an analogue output (analogue output or analogue flag).
The number of outputs available depends on the LOGO! basic version.
Thus, for example, the device series 0BA6 has 59 digital outputs:
16 digital outputs
27 digital flags
16 open connectors
and 8 analog outputs:
2 analogue outputs
6 analogue flags
If you have reached the maximum number of analogue outputs in your LOGO!Soft Comfort program (2
analogue outputs and 6 analogue flags), you have the option of adding analogue function blocks by
interconnecting to blocks with digital outputs.
85
Um PLC sem Watchdog
Fig. 01
Thus, instead of using two analogue flags as outputs for two analogue amplifiers(Fig. 01), you can also
implement an interconnection to an analogue comparator with an open connector (Fig. 02).

QUESTION:
Why does the integrated time of the LOGO!-base block misplace itself spontaneously?
ANSWER:
When using a LOGO!-base block of the device line 0BA4 with digital or analogue extension modules, the
time synchronization which is described in the manual must not be activated.
At present no LOGO! extension modules are available which support the functionality of the time
synchronization.
Thus check whether the time synchronization is deactivated. Proceed as follows:
Switch the LOGO! to the operating mode "Program".

Move the cursor in the menu to "Clock" and confirm with "OK".
Ckeck the status of SYNC: the status "Off" has to be activated.
If the synchronization is switched to "On", move the cursor to "Off" and confirm with "OK".
Note:
In the supply status of the LOGO! the synchronization is switched off. More information can be found in
the LOGO! manual which is available under entry-ID 16527461.
Inputs flicker on LOGO! ...0BA4
QUESTION:
Why do the inputs flicker on the display of LOGO! ...0BA4 even though they are permanently present
and not interrupted?
ANSWER:
The cycle time for LOGO! ...0BA4 is significantly shorter than in previous models (e.g. ...0BA3). In
86
Um PLC sem Watchdog
some cases earlier LOGO!s work perfectly well in a setup, whereas the inputs for LOGO! ...0BA4 flicker.
The reason lies in the power supply or its rectification and filtering.
LOGO! recognizes the temporary drop under the minimum voltage for Signal 1 and forwards this to the
program. Earlier models of LOGO! were slower in this respect because of the longer cycle time.
Under certain circumstances this behaviour is observed only on the extension modules when a LOGO!
24RC (AC+DC) is used as the basic module and another type, e.g. DM8 12/24R (DC only) is used as the
extension module.
Remedy:
You need a power supply with a higher value and with better rectification and filtering (e.g.
LOGO!Power, SITOP power).

With LOGO! Soft Comfort V6.0, how can you communicate in a Macintosh operating system
with LOGO! basic modules via the LOGO! USB PC cable?
Instructions:
If you are using the Apple Macintosh operating system Mac-OSX and LOGO! Soft Comfort V6.0
cannot communicate with your LOGO! basic module via the LOGO! USB PC cable, then check
whether the /var/lock folder is in your file system. If not, create this folder and make sure that you have
complete access rights for it. If, beforehand, you have used a previous version of the RXRXComm
package, then you might have to delete any remaining lock files in the previous folder /var/spool/uucp.
Check these folders before running the setup application.
Notes:
In Mac-OSX, you reach the /var folder via the finder menu bar "Go to" -> "Go to folder ...".
Under "Open the following folder:" you enter "var" and click on "Open".
If problems arise with access rights, you can set them via the finder menu item "Information"
("Apple" key + "I").

Why is there a permanent HIGTH signal on a LOGO! Input module when a 2-conductor
sensor is connect ?
Description:
This FAQ covers two situations:
1.
2.
The sensor is not active, but still outputs a HIGH signal.

The sensor is not active and does not output a HIGH signal, but LOGO still recognizes a HIGH
signal.
In order to determine the cause, you must see whether or not the sensor outputs a permanent HIGH
signal in the inactive state.
If the LED on the sensor lights continuously or there is a high current flow at the output (up to 300 mA
rated current), then the sensor outputs an HIGH signal.
Note:
Make sure that you do not cause a short circuit when measuring the current.
1.
The sensor is not active, but still outputs a HIGH signal.

Cause
The sensor is subject to a high degree of

humidity/contamination (e.g. rain).
Water on an inductive proximity switch has a
capacitive effect and shifts the oscillator
frequency. This might cause the proximity switch
to switch.
Remedy
Replace the inductive proximity switch with high
switching interval with a proximity switch with
standard switching interval and protection rating
IP68/69K.
The nut of the inductive sensor is mounted too

Screw the nut further back or use a flush inductive
close to the active surface of the sensor (too far
sensor.
forward, i.e. there is not enough free space).
This is the case with inductive sensors that are not
flush.
There are other other inductive sensors near this
inductive sensor. If the minimum distance between
sensors is not maintained, they can interfere with
each other.
Check whether there is the minimum distance

between any two sensors. The minimum distance
required is given in the data sheet of each
inductive sensor concerned under the item
"Buttability".
The free space around each inductive sensor must

be kept free of ferromagnetic objects.
Either you remove the "interfering" metals from

the free space or you use a sensor with a smaller
range (which means that the free space is also
smaller).
Information is given in the data sheet of each
inductive sensor concerned under the item
"Influence of metal environment".
2.
The sensor is not active and does not output a HIGH signal (LED on the sensor is off), but
LOGO still recognizes a HIGH signal.
95
Um PLC sem Watchdog
Remedy
Cause
A permanent HIGH signal is recognized
because of the high non-load current of 2conductor sensors (can be up to 1.5 mA)
and the low pick-up current of the LOGO
input module (from 1 mA).
Replace the sensor with a 3-conductor sensor. Threeconductor sensors have a very low non-load current
(residual current) at the output (< 0.01 mA). There are
technically equivalent 3-conductor sensors for practically
all 2-conductor sensors.
-> See Excel table (in the download): Recoding_of_2conductor_to_3-conductor inductive.
If you do not have the possibility of

connecting a 3-conductor sensor, you have
the option of connecting the 2-conductor
sensor to a LOGO input module using a
capacitor.*
A description of the connection is available in the

manual for the LOGO input module in Entry ID:
30041319 in section 2.3.3 Connecting LOGO! inputs.
Make sure that you use the right capacitor. It is
recommended to use a 220nF X2 capacitor, because this
ensures that the minimum input voltage and the
minimum input current for the LOGO1 are not
exceeded.*
* This procedure only works for a LOGO! for 230V and a 2-conductor proximity switch for AC

Can the LOGO! Switching program be lost following a power failure ?
Description:
Once the programming function has ended, a switching program is saved on an EEPROM in
LOGO! and is power failure-proof.
In the case of all LOGO! versions the basic functions, special functions, time parameters and the
elapsed time counter (where applicable) are always retentive.
Current values such as counter statuses can also be stored in the case of a power failure. For this you
must activate the "Retentive" option in the function concerned.

Description
The internal clock behaves as follows depending on the device series.

3.
Device series 0BA0

starts to run. This causes the time switches to be processed and actions might be triggered by
the time switches.
Device series 0BA1 to 0BA6
stands still and flashes. The LOGO! device is in the state that it was in before the power supply
was interrupted.
In the case of RUN the time switches parameterized with the time above are processed. But the
clock still stands still.
Device series 0BA6 only
If you use the optional LOGO! battery card or the combined LOGO! memory/battery card,
LOGO! can buffer the time for a maximum of two years. These cards are available for device
series 0BA6.

Loss of remanence of the hours counter
QUESTION:
Why does the hours counter in the LOGO! basic module lose its values after a power failure?
ANSWER:
In principal, the hours counter in the LOGO! module is remanent.
Should you nevertheless lose values of the hours counter after power OFF, then check the corresponding
block in the software. For this, in LOGO!Soft Comfort V 4.0 select the corresponding block in your
control program. Right-click on this block and select "Block Properties...". Select the "Parameter" tab
and make sure that the option "Retentivity" is checked and unchangeable (grayed out).
Fig. 1: "Retentivity" block property

If this option does not exist, then that hours counter is not remanent.
Fig. 2: "Hours counter" block property

To reobtain a remanent hours counter, you have to delete the block and enter a new special function
"hours counter" in the same place.
Note:
If you open your LOGO! project with LOGO!Soft Comfort version V4.0.51 or higher, then all hour
counters are automatically remanent. This is regardless of when they were created. The latest version of
LOGO!Soft Comfort is available in Entry ID 5714499.

How do you transform digital pulses into an analog value with LOGO! ?
Description
There are always tasks in which counted digital pulses of a fast input are to be processed as analog
values.
For example as:
Analog output
Output of the value on a LOGO! Display
Actual value of a controller (Block PI)
In LOGO! Soft Comfort there is therefore no function block, but you can program it.
Instructions
The digital pulses of the fast input are acquired with a backwards/forwards counter. The pause length
of a pulse encoder specifies the acquisition cycle and the forwards/backwards counter is reset between
the acquisition cycles (via a latching relay and a switch-on delay).
In this way there is a cyclic count (with 1/100s pause required for the counter reset). However, since
the final counter value is required, you cannot simply use the value of the backwards/forwards counter
(it changes all the time through the counting procedure), but you must use the analog value stored in
the first analog amplifier (B002).
The analog amplifier (B002) gets its value from the Analog MUX. This gets its value via a reference
for 1/100s from the backwards/forwards counter or a loopback (reference) from the analog amplifier
(B002).
112
Um PLC sem Watchdog
Fig. 01
In the example shown the value is scaled by an analog amplifier (B007). The scaled value is output at
the analog output AQ1.
In this example, a division by 10 is made and for an acquisition time (pause length of the pulse
encoder) of 10s the frequency is given in Herz.
The scale and unscaled values are output on the internal LOGO! display and on the LOGO!TD.
Note
The program also runs without display and analog output module.
