Monitoring Siemens LOGO! with REXYGEN
This folder contains the source files for the demonstration project on monitoring Siemens LOGO! 0BA8 using REXYGEN algorithm.
Run your own project in the LOGO! device. Any algorithm can be monitored and visualized. The LOGO! acts as a server. See the example project logo_monitoring.lsc.
There is also a project for REXYGEN, which illustrates the access to Inputs (I, AI), Outputs (Q) and Variable Memory Table (V) from the control algorithm. REXYGEN acts as a client and connects to the LOGO! base module via Ethernet.
Analog inputs of the LOGO! are read and stored in the TRND block in the REXYGEN control algorithm, which provides a time-plot of the measured data in real-time.
Prerequisites
- REXYGEN Runtime Core and S7Drv modules are installed on the target device
- The LOGO! device is in RUN mode (logo_monitoring.lsc attached)
- The IP address 192.168.1.111 is assumed in the LOGO! device. If the IP address differs, remember to change it in the configuration dialog of the IO driver file according to your LOGO! base module. As was already mentioned, LOGO! acts as a server the clients connect to.
Timing of the project
- The algorithm runs each 100 milliseconds (0.1 s). See the EXEC function block,
tick x ntick0 = 0.01 x 10 = 0.1 s - Communication with Siemens LOGO! is performed each 50 milliseconds (0.05 s). See the S7C function block, tick x factor = 0.01 x 5 = 0.05 s
Running the example
- The *exec.mdl file is the project main file
- Open it with REXYGEN Studio, compile and download it to the target device
User interface (HMI)
The example is accompanied by a graphical user interface generated from REXYGEN HMI Designer.
